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-----

I was stating a general rule, like the shower thought was attempting.

If you understand risk and its circumstances, you can mitigate that risk regardless of your situation.

If I follow, you're theorizing the unpracticed ability of a small minority of privileged people?

independently wealthy people can be more spontaneous, but are generally more conservative, they're as afraid as everybody else of spending their money.
