A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Respect isn't earned. You receive the amount of respect you give. (self.showerthoughts)

Every time you interact with someone you should give them a base level of respect. How they respond determines the amount of respect you continue to proceed with.

Ask me how I know you've never worked a service job.

I've been working in food service for almost 14 years. I don't know what you're on about.

Because all the respect in the world will still see people treating you like shit on a regular basis.
