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

Imagine if all these discount programs were linked not to the card, but to the bag. Bringing the same rugged bag with a chip could've become a new normal. (sh.itjust.works)

The downside for them would be that families share bags, but carry cards in personal wallets

If they want to data mine purchases, they might want it on the individual level

Hmm, I wonder what they think of me using my sister's phone number for some places, and the last land line I had in others?

Yeah, jokes on them - I use my ex’s number. She buys the craziest stuff
