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

This is especially true with luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Prada. People are either trying to impress others with fakes, or they’ve actually paid full price to become walking billboards.

Similar thing with iPhone cases that have a cutout for the Apple logo. That's just hilarious.

This is happening with non-luxury brands too. I was looking for a simple sports t-shirt lately and it's actually really hard to find one without a huge brand logo at the front. Do people actually like this?

Some do like it, but I'm with you; I skip the logo'd clothing.

I've made an exception once or twice for a logo that actually looks good. I think that is, considering how many pieces of clothing I've seen and not chosen, something like a one-in-a-million chance.

I don't. I really dislike any type of letting on my shirts. Not merely advertising, but inane stuff like 'Hollywood' or something. If I do wear text I must agree on it and most clothing brands fail to come up with stuff I want my clothing to say
