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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

In HongKong, and I'm sure in some other places, paper currency is actually made of bearer bonds:
Note (see what I did) the small text of "Promises to pay the bearer on demand at its office here", that's when/where the bank gives you coins, or their Monopoly looking-ass 10 dollar bill, issued by the government.
