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.

If I owned a Tesla right now, I'd be in a bad situation. I sure as hell no longer want to be seen in one. The market for them has crashed, and nobody wants to buy one used. If I could afford a Tesla, I'd surely have insurance... I'd be rooting for somebody to set that shit on fire

Just put one of those “I bought it before I knew Elon was crazy” bumper stickers on it and continue to drive it.

My neighbor's in that bucket, he bought one back when I would have bought my self one had I been in better financial health.

There's probably a lot of left-wing upper middle class that have them. Ever since musk came on the scene Tesla's been awfully bullish on making it hard to sell them.

Every time I see one of those I want to shout "I've been warning you fuckers about him since 2015!"

I'm glad people are finally seeing it, but wow did it take people a long time to catch on.

So instead of just risking anti-Musk people burning the car, you will now also have the pro-Musk people who might burn your car.

Is empathy and understanding to much to ask?

Fine point. Irony as a default mode of conversation is toxic. Apologies.

I put BYD badges on mine until I get rid of it.
