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

Seeing an actual professional pyrotechnics show = awesome. I have great memories of going down to the civic park and just laying back in the grass and watching the show. So much fun.

Listening to dipshits and kids in my neighborhood fuck around with illegal fireworks and maybe start a fire or hurt themselves, while my dog cowers and whines = fuck that shit.

This 100%. So glad my country does not do this madness and sticks to professionals
