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
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) 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

If anything, cannabis seems like a much better (and more profitable) drug around which to build a leisurely establishment.

Dutch coffee shops, you mean?

One or two every block in the old city center.

That's the trend I wish would emerge in the U.S.: lots of small spaces to hang out in like that

I'm trying so hard not to go on my /c/fuckcars rant right now.

"the" old city center 🙂 The Netherlands is quite a bit bigger than the Amsterdam tourist trap 😁

You can still do it in most city centres thougg. Just with a much lower density of coffee shops.

I was about 20 minutes into a documentary about Dutch coffee shops when i finally figured out what they were on about!
