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

Edit: tell me this doesn't sound stupid

There is only two types of jobs:

Doing something someone else doesn't want to do

Or

Doing something a specific other person can't do

The only thing I can think of that someone other than myself can't do is piss my wife off to no end. Not really a job, tho.

well it doesn't need to be back breaking I like networking and having an accomplished, finished task or job.

but the title was literally "job", and you set a challenge saying it's for someone who doesn't want to, of course you're going to 1000 examples why you're incorrect, it's nothing personal.

It's not incorrect everyone is just playing semantics.

You might like aspects of your job but explain to me why you wouldn't do it for free.

.... that's .... why.... I put it as a shower thought.....

[–] tjsauce@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Because rent.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I do it for free. I take old or unused but still good equipment, and help friends setup their home networks.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world -2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That prob doesn't qualify as a job.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm saying I like what I do enough that I spend my free time helping those up their home network security.

Yeah, it's dope. So why would you associate it with working? Working is inherently unpleasant.
