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.

Wait you can rent them?

You can rent anything if you have the money. Private plane, mansion, island, whole cruise ship, super cars, trip to space, trip in a submarine. I'm sure there must even be places that will let you use rent/use old military equipment like driving and possibly firing old tanks, etc.

There's a place in Texas, outside San Antonio, where you can drive and shoot old tanks

Renting an island in 2025 💀

Yes, I work in commercial insurance and we wrote the insurance for an entire portfolio of a family owned private equity. The father at the head of it owned multiple yachts and ran a side business renting them out when he didn't use them. It essentially just made them cheaper to own.

So basically the rich guys own a yacht, and to recoup on the cost he rents it out to the mega rich who can afford to even when not used not to have to bother with maintenance and such.

I bet the yacht owner thinks he's poor.

I'm pretty sure he and his $20 million dollar home and cash poor businesses think he's rich. They were the worst people to work with.

There's an article on /r/france about a rich guy supposedly fishing all the fish in Cuba from his mega yacht. Many pointed he rents it but he's not there at the moment.
