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
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) 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

At least? You thought a day pass to Disney World was at least $2,500 and maybe $25,000?

Adding to their perspective, as another kid who grew up in a poor family.. why not? Rich families were always spending "insane" amounts (aka literally any amount) on food, vacations, extra cars..

$2,500 for a day trip? ..sounds insane and unachievable, just like everything else in life. So, yeah, why wouldn't it cost that much?

When you are poor, the cost of everything sounds insane.

It's not 2.5k for the day trip, it's just the ticket. And from what I heard, the actual expense will easily triple once you start spending for basic things inside like food and hotel.
