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.

- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Everyone seems to think they have, or have just encountered, the worst breed of drivers, but that they themselves are pretty good at it. Change my mind.
Everyone? I'm 41, and never have had a drivers liscense because I know if I do, EVERYBODY gonna die.
I'm "good at it" to the point that I've never been in a crash that I caused. I can't really go much further than that. I've made my share of stupid mistakes.
But I also try to be a courteous driver as much as I can. I don't do shit like cut in front of other people on an interstate where everyone is doing at least 70 without bothering to use your turn signals. Which happened to me twice in the four days I was there.
