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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Sorry, the "you're not helping" isn't directed at you specifically. It's you as in landlords who do that and then say they're helping someone not be homeless.
I live in reality, but I don't live where you do. Where I live, homelessness is a HUGE problem and the streets and people's backyards are filled with tents. I'm not even exaggerating. Go look at Portland, Or news. It's all about homeless people. People have an extremely hard time finding housing here.
There's nothing comical about being homeless.
