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.

Rules

  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

Imagine if all these discount programs were linked not to the card, but to the bag. Bringing the same rugged bag with a chip could've become a new normal. (sh.itjust.works)

Around my, most everyone uses the same old bags for groceries (Trader Joe's ones in particular) but I imagine this idea would be best for the big box stores. Their clientele not only seem to care less about the environment, but they also stand to benefit more from giant reusable store bags. Plus plenty do store membership requirements (like Costco) and verifying membership by the bags you carry would be easier than a card, haha.
