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.

We need a 4th emergency service for people in crisis to just evac them from bad situations, almost like the witness protection. (lemmy.world)

I don't want to get too political in shower thoughts, but this would solve a lot of the hot button issues if more people just had safer and supportive environments to escape to and volunteers / paid professionals to help them on the other end.

Biggest problem is that you'd need the services everywhere for a 3-digit number to make sense.

Now if there was a 3-digit number that'd connect you to all the misc government services in your area, that'd be another thing.

In some cities 211 goes pretty far, but I don't know how responsive they are.
