Showerthoughts

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. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

I'm trying to remember when the last time was I used a pen. I think the contract I signed when I switched heath insurance a couple of years ago.

Sounds like a pretty significant moment then!

Jk but what do you do for work that you literally never need to use a pen or pencil? If you don't mind sharing I mean.

I work as a Programmer, so my laptop usually isn't far away when I need to take notes.

It's really just contract signitures and maybe the rare form, though almost anything can be done online these days.

Not just pens. Paperwork in general is fortunatly becoming obsolete. I haven't recieved anything important by physical mail in months and almost all invoices are now digitial.

Wow I'm a programmer too, and I can't imagine getting through an entire day without my notebook. It's how I organise my thoughts in the morning, and stay on task. It's also a really nice break from the screens every now and then

Yeah, digital task management or note taking has never worked well for me. It's best if I write things down, then fill out Jira or whatever

So you use a really nice keyboard, right? ...Right?

Ok see that was one of my first guesses but I personally would still need to write notes at least for myself, plus doodling lol, so I ruled out any office jobs.

Clearly I was wrong haha
