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

That would explain why you posted this on Showerthoughts of all places.

I believe I have statimated the people of Iceland accurately.

You joke but Björk is super approachable and friendly. She DJed my friend’s birthday party in Reykjavik one time.

Nice, she sounds like a celebrity I could at least tolerate if not get along with haha.

I dunno, sounds pretty statimated to me.

Also, Happy New Year! Have fun and be safe.

fireworks must be outlawed in all countries.

Thousands of industries worldwide release thousands of times more chemicals in a day than a firework display ever could. It's fine. Out of all the sources of pollution, I'd wager fireworks should be near the bottom of our list of concerns.

Though I wish more safety measures around them were introduced, both in terms of manufacturing and usage.

Burning heavy metals in the atmosphere seems like it might be bad

Happy new year Jon Jonsson!

Pretty pathetic this year in West Seattle. I heard a feeble burst of fireworks right at the stroke of midnight, then a couple minutes of sporadic booms and that was it. Usually it starts earlier and goes on for a good half hour. And I don't think it was even raining. Not that I blame people for low morale.
