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

Obviously you've never finished a tube of toothpaste.

Indeed, have been using the same one since birth.

Like Peak Oil. Doesn't mean there's no more toothpaste, it's just not worth the effort to extract.

I think when the tube is still half full, it already feels completely empty.

Every day?

That's too much toothpaste 😁

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

That's just my motivation running out.
