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
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 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-----

Self checkouts never seem to fit the bags I bring in. And I bought them at the very same store.
Ya they made them plastic bag width but also the length of the plate. You’re either hanging off the edge or squished. So mildly annoying
Yup. Back to the original post, have you thought about 3d printing a hangar to just temporarily put on the shopping cart? I was thinking about designing something real quick.
Is a carabiner not an easier choice? My bags came with their own.
Hey everybody, look at mr fancy pants over here! My bags did not come with any sort of fastening device, and besides, that's why I own a 3d printer. To solve problems like this.
(Begin infomercial acting)
Narrator: Is messing with carabiners too hard sometimes?
[actor fumbles with carabiner and drops it on the floor]
Narrator: Does your arthritis prevent you from working those tiny little carabiners?
[actor rubs their hands like they are in pain]
Narrator: Do you forget to unclasp your carabiner when you finish shopping?
[show shopping cart with 20+ carabiners attached]
Narrator: Well fumble no more with the handy Shopping Cart Bag Holder by Figco(tm).
[show someone happily shopping]
Narrator: Act now while supplies last, only $99.99 + shipping and handling.
Great idea! That would be really easy to bring with. I’m gonna design one as well though I’d love to see yours too!
Did you know I print or just suggest it? Just curious
I have a 3d printer and it was the first thing I thought of. Had no idea you could do the same.
Here is what I came up with. This should just hook onto the top of the cart. https://imgur.com/zgbTrOs
Nice! Right on some prints were the first thing I posted so I was curious. I think I’m gonna go for something a bit wider than a hook. Maybe a bar around 12/14 cm so it doesn’t sway
That looks good too. On mine I was just thinking about hooking that little loop that is in the center. Yours would work for the handle.
