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
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) 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

"Grab that."
"No you, I'm not touchin' that."
Or they might have assumed there was something wrong with it. I learned a trick at Microsoft to not have my desk chair "borrowed" for meetings - put a big piece of duct tape on it, Nobody wants the duct taped chair lol.
TIL Microsoft can't afford enough chairs for meetings.
WTF do they do with all that money? They're obviously not spending it on their OS.
Sometimes a conference room gets overloaded for a big meeting, sometimes people have pirated conf room chairs as desk side chairs... it varies.
ooh thats a good trick. will remember.
related, nobody steals pink power tools. A building contractor friend of mine had some pink paint leftover from a bathroom remodel, so he slapped it on all his power tools - no more tools stolen on job sites!
I wouldn't steal them, but the little girl inside me would clap delightedly upon seeing pink power tools anywhere!
