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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

Alarm clocks would be more effective if the sound was someone puking or gagging. (lemmy.world)

I always hit snooze on my alarm clock, but I jump right out of bed if I hear someone puking or gagging (e.g., kids or my dog).

That's why I always use same ringtone fort both alarm and calls. Sort of programmed my brain to register it as important unless I am exhausted and in deep sleep then nothing wakes me up.

Edit: it's important to note that I almost never snooze. I just set another alarm if I needed few more hours or just power through it.
