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

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

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

This is a great way to make a 30 minute game into a two hour game. Source: years and years of trying it.

Should visit Amsterdam. They likely already have this

I'm tired of these people that are so scared of cannabis and it's effects, like they are straight out of reefer madness. You know what's significantly more harmful and in practically everything you consume these days? Sugar. Caffeine is a close second.

Source for the caffeine claim? As far as I know caffeine is inversely correlated with all-cause mortality. The mechanism is uncertain but has been theorized to be mild appetite suppression, digestion, or coffee outweighing the caffeine itself.

These exist in some parts of California and Las Vegas. The ones in Vegas were all open within the last year or two AFAIK.

For the ones complaining of smell, Ill take the weed perfume over vomit dipped alcoholics any day.

As long as you don't stink. So fucking sick of weed users smelling like ass in public.

As others have said, they exist mostly as coffee shops. Honestly, with the prevalence and near ubiquity of Delta 8 across USA now, I would have thought someone would have put the effort into making coffee shops. I have no idea why they haven't gotten around to it yet. I found one that was a coffee shop that had delta 8 for sale, but not as a single product and they wouldn't let me eat it in store...

There's a "weed bar" in St. Louis I know of called The Cola

In Virginia, I have one of those in my town

There's a place like that in my city in Florida.

I visited a couple of places exactly like this in Madrid and Barcelona. It was really cool, although a bit clandestine due to cannabis regulation. If I recall correctly, it wasn't illegal to use, it just wasn't legal to advertise it, or to do it publicly. The people running the places were really nice, bunch of different selections, and they had board games and good music.

If they had a place like that here, the cops would post up 24/7, DUI all day baby.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They don't post up around bars 24/7 and alcohol related dui's cause thousands of deaths a year.

Yea hmmm. I guess I have a really shitty opinion of my local cops. They know everyone, and I'd imagine the clientele at a weed bar would be the kind that's more favorable to fk with, for them. They do post up at MAT clinics for sure, and bust people cause they can get a free dui charge, plus jail time, in most instances, cause everyone's got records. I'd like to think by the time I see a weed bar we'd have some more changes as well. Drunk driving is bad.
