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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

The phrase “snitches get stitches” makes a lot of assumptions about the quality and expediency of healthcare. (lemmy.world)

I would not buy surgical staples off amazon. Half of everything there is a knockoff and who knows if you'll get the real stuff or some kind of imitation.

If you don't like Amazon, you can buy a stapler at nearly any veterinary supply store without being a DVM. Surgical supplies intended for human use are harder to get, even though the exact same tools are used in veterinary medicine. Like Dermabond, for instance; you can't get it for people readily, but it's a snap to get it for animals, even though it's exactly the same thing.
