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

For real. This is my basic approach to parenting too and I feel the same way about both substances (while also enjoying both), but I've never seen it expressed in just the right way like this. It's perfect. Another one I've found useful is "drinking is borrowing happiness from tomorrow". Applies to certain other substances to a degree but damn if it isn't exactly right for alcohol. A loan is not always a bad idea, to be clear, but it's good to be clear on the terms of any loan, lol.
