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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Instead of the perfectly-fine "expired" food going to the dumpster, feed people. Help the community.

That's a whole lot of assumptions based on... not much, I suppose? Last I checked, most people using food banks are on disability, social security, single parents, or just low-income people.

You can't help people if you don't inform yourself before forming an opinion either.
