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

Soon in the near future, bank tellers and cashiers will be replaced by "convenience fees." (lemm.ee)

In Australia. We basically had this for a long time. Charged fees to use atm’s, unless the atm was specific to your bank.

Then basically at some point the banks realised that it was cheaper to just refund us those fees, rather than maintaining their own ATM’s.
