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

The phrase “snitches get stitches” makes a lot of assumptions about the quality and expediency of healthcare. (self.showerthoughts)

I would not buy surgical staples off amazon. Half of everything there is a knockoff and who knows if you'll get the real stuff or some kind of imitation.

If you don't like Amazon, you can buy a stapler at nearly any veterinary supply store without being a DVM. Surgical supplies intended for human use are harder to get, even though the exact same tools are used in veterinary medicine. Like Dermabond, for instance; you can't get it for people readily, but it's a snap to get it for animals, even though it's exactly the same thing.
