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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- 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

Try rice fields.
Everyone does, just don't overthink it and do what you want now, then maybe you'll have something to remember when you turn 81.
First world problems. Try year 1630 AD.
It's not a mid-life crisis, it's the typical teenage trap of thinking you've reached that and are now wise sensei in a wrong body. Actually feels like something a 15yo me could have written, not 18yo.
It's more dangerous than you think. When you really have a mid-life crisis, it'll just be. You won't think about it this way.
Don't allow those thoughts to prevent you from getting out, touching grass, learning all you can about all the wonders in the world you can find.
Also don't wait those 3 months to consider yourself an adult.
And, quoting Al Pachino's character, when in doubt - fuck.
Just cause people have had it worse doesn't mean they're not allowed to criticise it
Show me how a comment on the Web can disallow them anything.
By the way, neither can any of yours
I worded that badly, what I meant was just because humans in the past have had it worse, doesn't mean OP can't criticise current problems
OP doesn't criticize current problems. OP criticizes American median level of life being a bit worse than their parents' generation, while it's still obscenely good for most of the planet (for which levels of life have also taken a hit). While the current problems (of the "mass murder, robbery, theft, erasure of heritage, historical revisionism and tyranny" kinds) OP doesn't even hear about apparently.
In that case you should never complain about anything ever again on the internet because other people on the otherside of the world have it worse than you
No, what I said is not what you are trying to make it seem, it's that the OP complains about wrong things of what he can complain about.
And no, you are not smart to attempt this kind of cheating, you are robbing yourself and winning nothing.
