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

I don't want to pay for the full goose right now, I just want to pay for the right to buy the goose later, at a price that's fixed now. I'll decide later if I actually want to buy the goose or not.

Alternatively, I'm not sure how much my goose will continue to lay in the future, I'd like to pay for insurance to guarantee me a fixed price to sell the goose later if I want to.
