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. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

If you want to know what a society celebrates all you need do is look at the pictures of who and what they put on their money.

US: war generals, capitalists, banks, bankers, federalists, slave owners.

Other countries: flora, fauna, suffragettes, scientists, influential women, explorers, birds, fish.

What if my money has the text "MONOPOLY" on it?
