Apparently this is not a shower thought🤔 /s
Showerthoughts
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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
Keep being a decent human bean still is the way to go, though. Otherwise it's a race to the bottom, Marquis de Sade-style. Fuck these psychopaths, you're better than them!
You should tip the barista
I used to think that.
But if no one tipped, all the employees would leave, and the employer would need to slowly reconsider their life choices.
My sorry ass still tips 20% on everything in the moment though.
Why? If all I order is a drip and they don't have to do anything special, doesn't the cost of my coffee cover everything?
My morality works fine. A bunch of lead drinking, lead breathing, racist rednecks need to get fixed.
I am surprised by you being surprised, I knew for about 10 years.
Epstein also definetly did not kill himself but the media in my country is already reporting him as suicide now, and people forget.
He also puts into perspective how easily manipulated we all are.
We still give the most amount of power to the least trustworthy people. It's disgusting.
I would go with modern socialism/communism but, ever since Joe McCarthy, america tastes bile in their throat every time those words are bandied about. Pavlov and B.F. Skinner would be proud.
And you feel bad about not tipping because the employer pays them enough
You mean because they don't pay them enough? Also could be a him, btw.
Tip service workers, steal from Kroger.
Morality is something a class society continuously reproduces to manage the contradictions it faces on a day to day basis. It’s a fabric that gives you that guilty feeling when you’re not practicing the same self control the rest of society exercises and demands. A lot of control is regulated by law of course, then guilt becomes more than just a feeling. But many things don’t need to be dealt with by the legislature: you comply because you don’t want to be a social outcast.
At the top, it’s a bit different, they don’t need that kind of voluntary self control. Often, this becomes admired by those who see themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.
