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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It varies. At one place I used to go to, you could mute them. But they disabled the mute button, so I stopped going there.
At a different place, I accidentally went into an admin menu (by pressing several buttons at once) and that made me nervous, so I stopped screwing with the buttons. While it's very tempting to try and hack them, everything is on CCTV now. It's probably a crime here in the United States of Corporatism.
Fortunately there are still gas stations close to my job where I can fuel the vehicle in relative peace. I'd rather give those places my business.
I need to sort which ones by me don't have ads. It's the jarring audio at 5:30 am when I haven't had coffee yet that just sours my mood.
They have AUDIO?
jesus fuck
