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

Honking at someone when the light turns green is no longer rude because he is probably on his phone (lemmy.world)

There have been times where I was genuinely grateful somebody honked at me because I was zoned at a green light so no I don't think it's rude as long as you're not harassing the person

The people I lay on my horn to are the ones crossing the intersection and don't have enough room to make it all the way across and block me when my light turns green. I'll lay on my horn until you have enough room. Didn't move through the whole light cycle... I can still have my horn going.
