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

You have to leave some in the tank. It's real easy to breeze into work 20 minutes late with no consequences, sit in an air conditioned office while sitting around shooting the shit for 5/8 hours pretending to be in a meeting, send some emails and go home.
Working for 8+ hours straight on your feet is a different story. You still have to go home and perform domestic tasks like cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, laundry, yard work, kids. There's also a good chance you will have mandatory overtime on certain industries.
Not only that, but work smarter, not harder.
