Showerthoughts

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

It doesn't bother me, I'm of the opinion you should wipe until you see blood either way.

Me laughing at this.

I still drop duces at work and don't give a fuck. It's my third/fourth break of the day for me.

It could be both, but be careful not to assume malice when apathy is much more reasonable.

Any thought they put into getting you to not poop on company time will run into the issue of it taking longer when you do anyway. Much more likely, they're just looking at hard numbers.

They see a number for facility costs, they see a way to make the cost number smaller, that's as far as their interest goes. "Make cost go down" is one of those simple motivations that can be directly linked to just about any managerial decision that doesn't instead connect to "Make revenue go up."

Some toilet paper is shitty before it ever touches an ass. I waste as much as I can.

I use that stuff at home because we have old pipes and a bidet. Only need the TP to dry off anyway.

IMO, they failed at both goals.

Bring your own toilet paper.

A portable bidet. Office poop gamechanger.
