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.

IDK why, but this idea helps me sleep at night.

Never liked her either, so not really moving him up or down much.

Fuck Martha Stewart too

People don't realize that "insider trading" isn't fucking over a corporation, it's fucking over everyone that's invested and doesn't get the tip off.

People's retirement/pension and all types of other shit are tied up in random companies like this.

Absolutely no one should respect a billionaire who fucks over others to slightly see her numbers go up. She didn't need that money from cheating, but she did it anyways and fucked over everyone else.

She's a psychopath.

To add some concrete numbers. Martha Stewart's net worth is about $400,000,000 and the insider trading was to avoid losing $40,000 in stock value. In other words, she fucked people over to avoid losing 0.01% of her wealth.

Would rather make cupcakes with Martha Stewart that do anything with him.

Exactly this! Both her and Elon iare garbage humans!

And don’t get me started on Ophra. “Dr” Oz is where he is now because of her. She promoted so much pseudo science garbage in her show.

All my life, I've been a pretty irresponsible ~~towel~~ person.

This is a really good idea.

As far as I can see from the documentary she was getting on a plane to go on vacation and her broker called her and advised selling $40,000 worth of some stock and she said ok.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Nope:

Martha Stewart, the founder of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, also became embroiled in the scandal after it emerged that her broker, Peter Bacanovic, tipped her off that ImClone was about to drop. In response, Stewart sold about $230,000 in ImClone shares on December 27, 2001, a day before the announcement of the FDA decision

That still seems like it's more on the broker than her

She could probably kick the shit out of him too (in real life or Path of Exile 2).

Elon will never be at peace because wherever he goes, there he is. What a miserable existence!

I prefer to embrace the thought that no matter how chronically online he is, his meme game will always be dogshit and his nerd cred largely nonexistent.

I'm a DV outeach worker and I've found abusive narcissists are never happy. They don't have realistic expectations so are constantly disappointed and don't accept when they're wrong so they don't improve their own lives. Constant misery.

[–] Protoknuckles@lemmy.world 10 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Yep! I comfort myself with it.

elon went on the most popular show about science and geekery and somehow came out looking like a dork (derogative)

Sleeping while in the shower? Nice.

He could try hooking up with Snoop Dogg. That would probably change my opinion somewhat (not that I’d expect Snoop to be into Nazis)
