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-----

The only feeling worse than "Why didn't I think of that?" is "I thought of that, but didn't do anything about it!" (sh.itjust.works)

I had the idea for WeWork years before Adam ever bought his first office. But I don't have the type of personality to inspire a cult, and my father-in-law didn't gift us a million dollars when I got married.

I literally pitched this idea in an MBA course in 2009. It got shot down pretty hard. To think, with a little encouragement and seed funding, I too could have been a professional maniac.
