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

The only feeling worse than "Why didn't I think of that?" is "I thought of that, but didn't do anything about it!" (self.showerthoughts)

I had the idea for WeWork years before Adam ever bought his first office. But I don't have the type of personality to inspire a cult, and my father-in-law didn't gift us a million dollars when I got married.

I literally pitched this idea in an MBA course in 2009. It got shot down pretty hard. To think, with a little encouragement and seed funding, I too could have been a professional maniac.
