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 subway calls their workers "sandwich artist", does that mean when I order something, I'm commissioning it? (self.showerthoughts)

This reminds me of how Long John Silvers employees used to have naval ranks on their nametags which reflected their position in the store. I always wondered if the CEO wore a tag that said 'fleet admiral.'

Fleet admiral sounds like a regional manager to me. It's all about the Full Admiral baby, 4 stars.

Edit: I'm an idiot, a fleet admiral is a 5 star position. I'll leave this up as a monument to my folly.
