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-----

Some people have a huge list of things they want to do with their very limited freedom from the chains that bind us all. Thus can turn a vacation into a job in away. Running as fast as you can to "accomplish objectives".

Their life, their choice. It just seems so exhausting to hear people in my life go through these things. To put so much stress on themselves during their vacation.

Considering how expensive and all the sunk costs of these adventures, if things go wrong it can foster negative feelings. These can be draining as well.

I'd rather just drink alone in the basement.
