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-----

Prices presented in the show are presented without question. At no point does anyone question their absurdity.

They just use what the things' MSRP is (and sometimes round the number to the nearest 0 or 5)... You can be really good at the a lot of the game if you shop a lot and know the average prices of most things.

Same with an older, less popular gameshow called Supermarket Sweep.
