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

An “early bird” is a very old idiom for someone who is up and productive early in the morning. See also “early bird gets the worm.”

Have you ever heard the story about the grasshopper and the octopus?

All summer long the grasshopper worked to gather food while the octopus played video games. Then winter came and the grasshopper died so the octopus took all of his food. Also he got a racecar.
