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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Mine used to give me free water and natural gas. I filled my waterbed with hot water when I moved in.

Years later, they changed it over so that the whole building was metered and the price was divided.

That's a legal. Metered utilities can be either included in the rent, or metered on a per unit basis. In this setup, if your neighbor uses a lot of utilities your bill will go up. That's why this is illegal.

It's illegal everywhere in the world?

Seems an odd thing to come together on

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago

looking into my state code, it's legal if it's in the lease and they did ammend the lease on renewal to include it.

Morale? no. Legal here? it would appear to be.

pretty sure there's an old copypasta about this or something

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Stupid question.

NOT a shower thought.

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I feel pretty confident they were in the shower when they thought about this question.

It may not be the kind you like but it (most likely) meets the community rules definition.

OP is a dipshit verbatim ripping off an XKCD video no way in hell they came up with it themselves BTW.

[–] kossa@feddit.org 3 points 3 months ago

Fill the water in bottles behind your generator and sell it at cheaper rates to folks who pay for their water...even more profit!

Maybe on some other planet, where success is deemed as failure and they all have USB ports for genitals.
