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.

Then go barf, I don't frankly give a shit. Your work situation apparently is so garbage that you feel that everyone's is. No, mine has always been very supportive, from the top down to my level. I'd put my team up against any team out there because they give a shit about how I'm doing personally. We've gone through a lot, and we have respect for each other on a personal level.

My previous job though? Yes. Abso-fucking-lutely was toxic. I did that for 23 years. I have plenty of perspective on this and have seen other colleagues in other organizations having similar situations. Mine isn't and I would always try to give my team a heads up when I won't be available.

Maybe start with getting a job that respects you as an individual first before telling me I should just ditch work.

Kettle, meet pot. I'm completely serious about everything I've said, zero trolling here. You SPECIFICALLY said about people protesting only on their day off. What is the actual fucking significance in that? I asked you before and you deflected by calling me a schmuck because you don't have an answer.
