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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Love the peeps that risk killing everyone around them to get ten feet ahead in bumper to bumper traffic.
And only end up being farther back than if they had just stayed put, as everybody else had the same thought, making the new lane the slower one.
And even if it doesn't, they lose any time they could have possibly gained the moment they get off the highway and hit a red light.
90% of the time the bumper to bumper traffic only exists because some fuck taps their breaks every 15 seconds
