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

It's possible that disrepect towards animals including harmless bugs is a bad influence on how we treat people (lemmy.ca)

The fun in fishing is that you get to just sit there, have a beer, and turn your brain off. There really isn't an expectation to be super busy while fishing. If you have a busy lifestyle, then an occasional "turn your brain off" is super nice.

There are a bunch of other ways to do that without hurting animals too, though.

This is why I hate fishing
