Elder waitresses should be called something else, like waitrons or waitriarchs.

Showerthoughts

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. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

And a group of servers is called a kubernetes.
Shouldn't it be a "cluster"?
I thought about that, but I didn't think that got the joke across as well. Probably overthought it but 🤷♂️
I doubt many people outside of IT know what Kubernetes is 😅. At least with "Cluster" you get a "Why?" Instead of "What?".
Right, but at least for now that's most of the demographic on Lemmy.
Academically perhaps. In the field it's colloquially called a "hospitality night".
Nginx wench
I am super lazy so I often pick terms like this by default so I don't have to spend cycles thinking about age or gender.
Using which Linux distro?
Waitress superior
Waitriarchs is very witty, well done.
Waitlocks
You’re thinking of an Eldritch Waitress. What OP meant was a waitress that fuses metal objects together.
That's a wailder. OP was thinking of a waitress that works with locks.
That's a waitcracker. OP was thinking of a waitress who just walks into a house of bears, eats their food and falls asleep.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Good bot
Good human
bleep bloop
How dare you say that about their mother!
"Bar wench! Where's me grog?!"
In a few languages you refer to people based on their relative age vs yourself. So a young waitress is one word, a older waitress is another, etc.
Fellow human seems to work.
hey are you a fellow human? yeah cool grab me a glass of water please uhh i don't work here
We are hiring a fellow human for low wages but you might get great tips what do i need to do? youll be a servant to rude dirtbags. can i call myself a waitress instead please? No our culture requires official titles to be fellow human for all staff and patrons and you will all go by the name Sam
Yeah, but if I start shouting that in a restaurant I'm going to get everyone's attention instead of the old lady responsible for my meal.
Why?
I don't know. They seem more powerful.
Meaningless titles with superfluous connotations just leads us to more useless middle management.
We don't need a new term.
Should new ones be called waitrwards?
