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. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Love the peeps that risk killing everyone around them to get ten feet ahead in bumper to bumper traffic.

And only end up being farther back than if they had just stayed put, as everybody else had the same thought, making the new lane the slower one.

And even if it doesn't, they lose any time they could have possibly gained the moment they get off the highway and hit a red light.

90% of the time the bumper to bumper traffic only exists because some fuck taps their breaks every 15 seconds
