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.

Again, you’ve taken a shower thought way too literally.

There’s many careers that one builds the cost of prep into the final product. Do you think wedding photographers are only charging for their time on site? No, they build their time editing the photos and paying for equipment and marketing into the cost. Same as sex workers.

No one actually thinks this is a valid way of figuring out cost of living in an area. It’s a shower thought.

lol, that's perfect, wedding photogs.

Yeah, lets peg the going rate at that of wedding photogs. That's pretty offensive also.

Your argument that sex work is different from any other work because of the prep time is faulty.
