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
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Laziness doesn't exist. It's a tactic of capitalism to shame people into doing something they don't want to do. People with ADHD are often called lazy due to executive dysfunction, but again that isn't laziness.
Capitalism just borrowed the whole "lazy" sham from previous systems of control. "Sloth" was one of the seven deadly sins over a millenium before capitalism became anything like it is in modern times. And the church for sure used it as a weapon to shame serfs into working themselves to death for the benefit of their particular lord.
I suppose you could say capitalism was too lazy to come up with something more original.
Also, I don't know why you're getting downvotes.
"if you were lazy, you'd be having fun" was one of those life changing sentences for me
