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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's not rude where I live. You generally give them a short double honk and then you see them wave in the mirror to say sorry as they start moving. I usually give 3-5 seconds before I do it.

Yea I mean, the 3-5 seconds is the only thing that matters here right? Fuck those assholes who sit on their horn .243 seconds after the light turns green like they are on a drag strip watching the tree.

But if I've been sittin there for a few seconds and havnt realized the light has turned then I'm not gonna get upset about a short, light honk.
