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-----

As someone whose almost 40....hyep.

I remember one night me and a friend passed a handle of gin back and forth and drank the whole thing right from the bottle. What the hell happened? That was only like 15 years ago.

You ever heard of Bacardi 151? It was an alcohol that was 151 proof. 75% alcohol by volume.

My friend used to buy this $80 bottle. It was huge. Bought it every week. We'd do shots from 7pm, until ?????. We'd wake up the next day, bottle empty, no clue what happened past 10pm, but we'd always find evidence we were up until at least 6am.

They don't even MAKE that stuff anymore because they said it was too dangerous.

Now I drink like 6-8 beers and I'm thinking its getting late.

~~They still make and sell 151.~~ Hell I can buy Everclear (190 proof) at Walmart where I live.

edit: I stand corrected they stopped making 151 in 2016, though Everclear is still on the market.
