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.

Instead of the perfectly-fine "expired" food going to the dumpster, feed people. Help the community.

Walmart does this as long as it's still generally safe. There are so many laws about refrigeration, tho, that is why so much gets thrown out. A refrigerated product has been out of the fridge for 30+ minutes? It's not safe to sell or consume, according to the government. According to my stomach, it's just fine as long as it hasn't been days out of the refrigerator.

Understood about food safety. Refridgeration is only a problem if there are no fridges, so get fridges for the food bank. Fixed!
