    Be glad you weren’t born 100 years earlier with a 100 hour work week.

      be glad you weren’t born on a desolate island surrounded only by sharks and inhabited only by poisonous food

      point is, don’t compare yourself to the worst alternative. labor hours spiked around 1800-1900, but were significantly lower before and after that.

        I’m aware of that. I read referring to this particular period. Earlier times may have had fewer working hours but had their own drawbacks, not just cave bears.

      Or be sad you weren’t born 10.000 years earlier with a 15 hour work week.

        Personally I’d prefer to not get eaten by a cave bear.

          Cave bear sounds adorable. Would cuddle.

            They were known to be especially cuddly. Unfortunately they died out 24000 years ago.

              Due to excessive cuddling?

                In my highly scientific opinion, I’d say that’s very likely.

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:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

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
  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.
