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-----

When people tell me 'money doesn't buy happiness', I tell them 'it removes a lot of anxiety'.
These people don't have any anxiety anymore, and believe they can do anything. Most of the time they're right.
Money doesn't buy happiness, it's merely a pre-requisite for health, safety, freedom of movement, education, and social standing.
Which all contribute severely to your happiness.
