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-----

If I ever got a Canada Goose jacket, I'd take the badge off. (lemmy.ca)

I would get it for the warmth, not the appendage measuring contest.

*After thinking about it, it's shocking how many people here think the only value of a product is the brand and not the actual product.

big fan of debadging. its not always necessary but it sure feels good to not be a billboard

People who wear t-shirts advertising expensive brands mystify me. Ryan George has a funny YT about this.

Anyone know if we've got some kinda brandless/debadging community in the Fediverse? Seems like the sort of place one would thrive, but finding communities isn't very straightforward to a newb like me.

Yeah I hate any clothing with branding on it. I even hate how trucks now stamp the entire tailgate with their name.

Clothing companies should stick to little tags on the collar with their name on it.

Once my car was paid off I told the people of the dealership I wanted their badges removed. And the guy tried to talk me out of it saying by now it would leave a clean spot under it. I told him to do it anyway
