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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

We're lucky that our bodies require sleep, otherwise our cultures would have us working 16-20 hour days. (lemmy.world)

What job and country? I need to stay far far away from that

Paramedic, U S. Most EMS and fire departments run 24hr shifts. It's a choice.

It's only a choice if other options that pay a living wage are available to you.

They are. It's a choice.
