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

It's actually growing more and more popular to ban fireworks in cities and counties.

There are always people that bitch about their right to set off uncontrolled explosives during the height of fire season in residential areas, but overall, it's truly growing more common to see them banned.

My city is one, for example. And while it's awesome to know that you can't set them off inside the city limits, that doesn't stop people from crossing the city line and setting shit off in that grocery store parking lot.
