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.

  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

One day it was too silent, the air was too clean, there was no obnoxious sounds, exhaust, or dust particulates in the air. So, a guy invented leaf blowers. (lemmy.world)

Every fucking day. I hate it so much!

Also, when I had a lawn, I had an electric mower, electric leaf blower, electric edger.. Because I'm not an asshole. I also like having less maintenance. Why is that so fucking hard?

I know the world has much bigger problems to focus on right now but I dream of a time when loud ICE engines are banned at least in residential zones.
