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 most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1

Wouldn't it be nice if instead of just bars with alcohol, there were establishments for people to consume cannabis while eating, playing board games, and socializing? (lemmy.world)

If anything, cannabis seems like a much better (and more profitable) drug around which to build a leisurely establishment.

I think it is completely unacceptable to have public places where people go to get intoxicated in a society that practically requires cars.

It should be required that your uber/lyft, or bus/train ticket is prepaid in order to receive any product in these establishments.

This sounds like a great idea in a city center where cars are banned.

But we (1) already have bars that have this problem far worse and (2) why would we require being completely car free to have such a place? The vast majority of people already don't drink and drive. Why should they all be held back because of small number of assholes?

I'd rather see impaired driving harshly punished and watched for. Every single person who drives impaired once should go to jail and never, ever drive again. And crack down on it hard. It's a far better use of police time than ticketing people going 10 over. Maybe even make bars have a security guard whose sole job is to prevent impaired driving.

I forget who this was, but some comedian pointed out the utter absurdity of bars with parking lots.

Designated drivers literally exist, though?
