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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

MODERATORS
They mean the advice does not acknowledge the risk of going into debt then becoming depressed
At no point was that mentioned in the OP
The post is saying that the helpful advice is about making choices and omits things outside of your control, like depression, that can lead to the same result.
The post isn't saying to not be depressed.
It’s a sarcastic take on common advice. It’s implied by the inanity of the suggestion. Most people got it, wasn’t something you saw. You’ll get it next time :).
Pretty sure I got it and you meant to reply to breadsmasher.
Yup.
what? it literally does say that.
"Don't suffer' is different than "Don't choose to be".
