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

You touch money all the time. Money is filthy, There's a 100% chance you've held a $1 bill that was in a strippers ass-crack at some point. Same goes for being used for blow.
I don’t know how true it is but here in the UK they say the majority of banknotes in circulation have traces of cocaine on them
Not sure where you are (lots of places use $), but it's been many many years since I used cash for anything, and it's probably the same for anyone below retirement age in UK/Europe?
Paying for something in a shop typically means touching your bank card against the payment terminal.
Cash in the U.S. is the only way to pay for a certain plant which is legal in some states but still illegal federally for some stupid reason.
I live in Ireland and was fairly slow to adapt to this cashless mularkey but my mind was blown when visiting Germany how many places were cash only.
Cash only is common in New York City as well but not so much anywhere else I've been in the US.
