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 never did understand why you are not supposed to change a running system.

It's not that you can't, just that you shouldn't unless you really, really think about what you're going to change and do your due diligence. Otherwise, whatever the system is doing and whoever depends on it could get screwed over when someone makes a fucky-wucky because they didn't do their homework.

In IT it makes sense, but for everything else it doesn't
