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

I was playing DnD with my friends, but unfortunately we are retarded get distracted easy so the whole game we would move nothing.

We decided to remove some of the habilities rolls in orders to make it faster, and it worked. The game was finally moving, and the storyline was progressing like a normal game.

This was all about 2 months ago, nowa few days ago they wanted them back, when I started asking why, they would say shit like:" My character is better now"....

Bro just me an the DM where like...but we did it for the time you fucks. Don't you remember?.....

Either way, we voted they won, we played 3 hrs of game and nothing happened we did almost nothing.

GUESS WHAT, we ended up back to o removing some rolls..... Dude they just didn't remember, and that was an 2months ago

They aren't specially stupid, most of them are average intelligence , but they forget.

I'm afraid that so has America, and we end up with this cunt as president.....fuck me

There are so many things these days which co-opt and diminish our ability to pay attention and focus, it wouldn't be all that surprising if it's also affecting memory.

The book Stolen Focus goes into these issues, but diet, air pollution, smart phones, social media, and instant gratification tired to consumerism all diminish our ability to focus.
