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

I was way more spontaneous when I was couch surfing. My whole life was one giant spontaneous stream of actions. That's partially why I was couch surfing.

I was stating a general rule, like the shower thought was attempting.

If you understand risk and its circumstances, you can mitigate that risk regardless of your situation.

If I follow, you're theorizing the unpracticed ability of a small minority of privileged people?

independently wealthy people can be more spontaneous, but are generally more conservative, they're as afraid as everybody else of spending their money.
