That's such a small number. I bet there might be one or two near you even. You can just Google it!

The seven deadly sins are all things that have a serious negative impact on you and your life if you give into them too much. They’re all very general habits/feelings/desires that most people feel/experience which can lead you to hurt yourself and/or others, and haste/impatience checks both those boxes.

And I suppose as “sins” they’re supposed to lead you to do “un-Christian” things, but impatience probably does that more than sloth, right? Like you’re much more likely to hurt yourself and/or others if you do things fast without thinking than you are by just sitting and doing nothing all day.

I guess all of the sins are also all some form of carelessness too which also applies to being hasty or impatient.

I'm taking a shower at someone else's house and I noticed they have 1 bottle that says "3-in-1, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash".

Why isn't this the standard? Why do we even need 3 different types of soaps to bathe?? Have I bought into Big Soap capitalist propaganda without even noticing??

I just finished showering with the 3-1 soap and I don't feel any difference between the 1 soap vs the 3 soaps I have at home.

Ok hear me out, you have an extension on your browser, if you see some ai slop website, you can flag it. Then, like sponsorblock it doesn't appear and gets just zapped. It could also work on youtube and other major websites, you flag some post, then it doesn't appear for other users.

In the end you have a database of ai slop content to avoid (or attack, idk I'm just some guy on the shitter (sry that's not a shower 😬😢)

We really need a community where you can just post about anything that you're really passionate about, which you're currently researching/thinking about, sothat others can learn something about it as well and maybe discuss about it.

This showerthoughts community is a bit like it because you can just post whatever comes to your mind, but i'd like it to be more in-depth and with higher quality. Something like showerthoughts, but bathtubthoughts, i.e. when you're soaking in a hot bathtub and thinking about stuff for 20 minutes or sth, and then post that. You know what i mean?

You can use high value materials to pay the cost to make it taste good or give up a little bit of your soul to it.

Good chefs know how to perform the ritual just more efficiently with less cost.

I travel pretty regularly for work and where I'm at right now is beyond pathetic. It would be nice to compare users experience with internet speed when making a booking decision.

To add to that the overall internet "experience" could be a rating. Some places I stay have decent speed but they boot you off every 6 hours. Some make it extra difficult to log in. Some sneak access in as an optional extra. Some do all three.

Any time you talk about people such as celebrities or politicians, even if it's negative, you are giving them power. Talk about your ideas, and you give your ideas power.

Also Millenials’ and Gen Alpha’s. Once again Gen X doing all the heavy cultural lifting.

(Edit: go on then, you name a 20yo skateboarder that most people outside the sport have heard of)

(Second edit: yeesh, I retract my statement! It was a post about a skateboarder having a long career, not a calculated attack on everyone under 45, put the pitchforks away already)

And I say this as someone who dedicates hours each day reading a variety of local, national, and world news outlets in order to stay informed.

I normally don't mind the smell of my own farts. Sometimes I enjoy the smell, and at worst it smells "interesting".

But if I let one out while in the shower, it instantly makes the whole experience unpleasant until the smell is gone. Weird.

Post title at limit, but meant to be peak tactile feedback in computer storage.

The space saved from being thin made it bad for looking up and finding a specific disk within a stack, tho, as it couldn't fit an end label

Showerthoughts

39088 readers

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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.
