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

Trickle up economics
It's hardly a trickle either.
Shit, even at a trickle pace...
If I somehow got one single penny from every person on the planet, I'd have about $80,000,000...
Do you have a penny to spare for the cause?.. 😂
you know what's funny? you still wouldn't be close to the rich rich people
I know right..
That's a great idea to lift everyone out of poverty! If we all gave each other a penny we'd all be rich.
I caught myself mid laugh before realizing the reality of that statement.
More like a firehose
A firehose in the sky that sucks the rain back in.
