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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

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.

Sweet, I've convinced one now I only need to convince like 30,000,000ish more and it doesn't matter if it's true or not.

Loan them to me, then they're still yours but I can claim they're mine as well.

Now reasure me that the reasons my life sucks are due to no fault of my own, but to other people. Give me a target for my impotent rage which stems from the fact that I know deep down that I'm a failure. Tell me it's someone else (or group of people)'s fault. I can't wait to blindly support you!

You need a loan? With that kinda collateral, I could set you up with some liquidity at a nice rate. When you're rich, they let you do it.

My mom used to be an official Ty ^® dealer. She has bags and bags if those leftover in her basement. Iirc she has the Erin one that is worth an absolute fortune.

Right before the market crashed on them, some flipper sold one to a secret Ty representative and told a story about how she bought them at my mom's store. They instantly pulled her from being a dealer. It was devastating at the time. Just suddenly cut off her main source of income. In the end though, I think it was a fortunate blessing.

She was skirting and Ty's rules though. She couldn't sell them for more than the price set by Ty. But she could give them away as a promotion if people bought other merchandise. So she would give away the highly sought after ones with a purchase of $100-200 of other merchandise. She had lines out the door.

When I was very young I was gifted a tiny stuffed yellow fish. Apparently a very early beanie baby. I immediately tore the tag off.

Had I left that on, it'd probably be worth something.

Congrats! I deeply regret not investing in beanie babies when I had the chance.

Well good for you. Do we now get to eat you?

I've been working on a blog-post to showcase my "Fall off the Bone Billionaire" recipe.
