35 Hilarious And Brilliant Realizations People Had In The Shower, As Shared By This Online Community (New Pics)
Let’s get one thing clear: the shower may be a great place to sing your heart out, but it’s even better to get those creative ideas flowing.
Just think about it: you’re in an enclosed space with warm, comforting water, and your mind is simply roaming where it wants to.
Suddenly, you realize you’re doing much more than just mindlessly shampooing your hair — you’re allowing your brain to find brilliant fleeting thoughts you can’t wait to share with everyone else.
There’s one corner over on Reddit that eagerly waits for you to do so. Let us introduce you to the Shower Thoughts online group that serves as the perfect outlet to share those "miniature epiphanies you have that highlight the oddities within the familiar." With over 24 million members, it has archived quite the collection of unexpected, hilarious, and profound Aha! moments.
We have scoured the community and gathered some of the best gems of wisdom that might leave you pondering all day, so have a read through them right below.

Fortunately the mess in orbit will be gone in a few million years as gravitational perturbations cause items re-enter the atmosphere and deorbit. Won't do us much good right now, but it's nice to know that in the long run near-Earth space will be clean again.
And your dog would love the toy, because it smells like dog food - and would love the dog food even more, because it reminds him of the toy. And he wouldn't ever eat any other brand again. - That would be the absolut marketing win!
Load More Replies...They no longer do it for kids cereals so I don't see them doing it for dogs. Would be nice though.
They don't do it for kids' cereals though because in some markets, there are rules about putting non-edible toys into edible food items.
Load More Replies...Good marketing gimmick though. For a 25 cent cat ball/mouse/toy...I would buy that cat food/litter loyally unless it was complete garbage, nutritionally. (in the case of food)
Load More Replies...An unboxing video of a dog just eating the cereal and being "YOU WONT BELIEVE WHAT I FOUND IN MY LUNCH" And then he just plays with the toy
Load More Replies...My cat would love this!!!! I should start giving her a toy every time we open a new bag of crunchies!
Honestly he wasn't all that emotionally stable it just presented in ways most don't normally notice. His ability to assess risk and decide reasonable amounts of it was nearly non existant. "Hey that person mentioned the platform I'm after, gotta be safe", "Hey this girl I've never met but am pretty certain is brand new to this whole magic thing is pointing a wand directly at me, I'm sure that can't go wrong." "Oh hey, I think that teacher got attacked by a giant dog because he's dangerous, better make it clear I don't trust him." and that's just the first book/movie, his concern for his own well being drops significantly in each sequel.
Excellent observation. I can tell you've thought it through. Have an upvote :)
Load More Replies...Have you read the order of the pheonex? he is not emotionally stable at all! ps: I know i spelled pheonex wrong I just dont know how to spell it.
To be fair in Order of the Phoenix he was mentally connected to Voldy who is himself pretty emotionally unstable.
Load More Replies...Why did HP never wonder about grandparents, uncles, cousins, etc? Why was he SO uncurious about the world around him when he discovered he had a wizarding life?
In the books he sees them all in the mirror. But Lily did not have any family left except Petunia. All his grandparents are dead and James was a single kid.
Load More Replies...How do you know they were "incredible"? Your perception may be flawed...
Load More Replies...Anyone that read the book can see that he had major anger issues. Not to mention his impulsiveness and constantly running into danger. He had a self destructive personality, which he LITERALLY followed through on. One thing I would NOT call him is 'Emotionally stable'. My therapist would have a field day with him.
The shower is one of the very few places where people can be alone with their thoughts. While it’s the perfect place to get some deep thinking done, the eureka effect occurs virtually anywhere we let our minds stay still. According to the moderators of the community, "'Showerthought' is a loose term that applies to the types of thoughts you might have while carrying out a routine task ... At their best, showerthoughts are universally relatable and find the amusing/interesting within the mundane." Whether it’s taking a long walk, meditating, or simply laying on the grass watching the clouds pass by, these are the calm moments that really rejuvenate the brain.
To learn more about how doing nothing can boost our creativity, we reached out to Nancy K. Napier, Ph.D., a Distinguished Professor Emerita at Boise State University and author of Unfolding Curiosity: Wrinkles and Surprises from Business and Beyond. "Several authors, including one of my favorites — Pico Iyer — talk about the value of stillness, of silence, of doing nothing," she told Bored Panda.
Plus, there's minimal commitment, if the relationship goes sour they're just done anyway.
Still never understood why some 100+ year old vampire keeps repeating high school. (You know the movie)
They're really, really bored and they're not good at mixing and it's the only way to meet new people. Plus, how smart must they look to everyone else!
Load More Replies...If I were an immortal shape-shifting vampire or were-critter, and I wanted wealth without commitment, an easy tactic would have me to flow under doors into attorneys' or bankers' offices, and fake assignments and signatures on valuable documents like wills, deeds, etc. No need to form a relationship with the edible human livestock.
They are both true, we just have many different freedoms.
I was just going to say: here’s me thinking that cats really have all the freedom 😂
Load More Replies...Neither is true, the grass is always greener on the other side…but we all get cut down eventually.
Strangely, the more responsibilities ur given, the more freedom u have
Children have less freedoms per se but no cares, expenses or responsibilities. How about being an adult like that? It's called being wealthy...
I wouldn’t say that children have much freedom, we don’t get to decide or control anything, and parents have total control over us
According to the professor, even when we think we're doing nothing, our brains keep on buzzing. "I've begun strength training and have learned that you should do it one day and then 'rest' the next, to give your muscles time to readjust, recover, and revive," she said. But when it comes to exercising our minds, we bend over backward to get those brain cells going and often forget to give our thoughts a breather. "I feel that way when I 'do nothing' in my work or thinking — it gives my mind some time to readjust (to not pushing so hard), to recover (from hard work and thinking), and to revive (and play with something that may not have had a chance to pop up)," Napier explained.
It is so wierd how they inhabit planets they can live on. So wierd omg yes
Load More Replies...not really, you could inhabit a planet with different gravity if it provided close ratio of oxygen and water to earth. The gravity just determines things like how strong your bones are, or how far you can jump.
Load More Replies...And how every planet only has one biome - Desert Planet, Ice Planet etc. If all of them are in Goldilock zones they would have much more variety
At least Star Trek had planet classifications based on gravity/oxygen/etc and actually occasionally acknowledged differences. Though, Wars just shows planets people can survive on, that are”human(oid) normal”, so they don’t really need to branch off in to ones that are not. More nitty-gritty than they needed.
"This is an 'M'class planet, so there should be plenty of Roddenberries to eat."
Load More Replies...It's the Goldilocks principle. You would only spend billions terraforming a hospitable planet. A planet that had gravity like Earth and oxygen like Earth. In other words, a planet that's 'just right'.
But many weren't colonized planets, they are inhabited by life forms that evolved there, eventually discovered space travel, and joined one of the galactic orders. For this to make sense, we would have to assume intelligent life could only evolve under a specific range of conditions, one of those being gravity. Or assume that species from gravitational extremes just don't interact?
Load More Replies...If the planet is the home of humans, then this isn't convenient; it's planning.
Gravity has nothing to do with being habitable, how do you think our astronauts survive on the space station?
Load More Replies...I think this a lot when I watch my favorite sci-fi series Stargate. It’s convenient that it’s always light outside when they arrive on a planet, temperate weather, and everyone mysteriously speaks English.
Well, the english-, thing was explained by some translation-thingy, i'm pretty sure. And on Stargate Atlantis, they don't always enter during the day. Or even to dry land
Load More Replies...It reminds me of when Lrrr eats the hippie in Futurama and starts acting weirdly

That's why they have syringes for mouths to get straight to the point..
Then they become addicted too. Just nodding out waiting for somebody to shoot up some dope! F**k.
When i was first reading it, i thought it said "when you ar wearing noise" and I was so confused
It's happening. Devices are taking the world over. Today we're motion-activated, tomorrow we'll be remotely controlled.
The professor suspects that if we let our minds rest during work hours, just as we have a "rest day" in exercise, we'll see benefits and perhaps generate new ideas fairly quickly. After all, nearly everyone knows how drained we feel after several hours of tiring consecutive work. Then, coming up with beautiful innovative ideas is far from an easy task. But if we pause regularly during the day and give our brains a little break from thinking, we might avoid hitting creative burnout.
"Years ago, I worked with a group of faculty members (five of us, very different fields, ways of thinking) to design a new academic program. We started with an empty whiteboard for every meeting. After a few false starts, we learned to trust that we would have some great ideas by the end of each meeting. By removing the expectation and pressure of being creative, we became dramatically more competent at finding ideas. We allowed 'nothing' to be our starting point and that freed us to generate some great (and many not-so-great) ideas," Napier added.
Yes!!! I explain this to people but they don't always believe me. Certain things I can google quite proficiently and other things I prefer my husband to search or a friend.
Depends on previous googles. If you are someone who searches for scientific knowledge regularly, the suggestions will tend to show that. For some people typing "Mercury" will give us the melting temp of the metal, for others it will give album titles.
Load More Replies...I read a book, decades ago, where a character specialising in getting online information and his skill is about knowing the 'right question to ask' This book was written before the internet was invented..
Do you remember the name of the book? It sounds interesting.
Load More Replies...Here let's help y'all. One of the most useful is "site". For example, if you do not want batchit crazy stuff on vaccines, add "Site:edu" at the end of your search. You end up getting only university results. Specifically from USA. If you want british university responses, use, "Site: ac.uk" etc. If you want a PRODUCT, search "site:.com" at the end. If you want an NGO, add "Site:.org" at the end. etc etc.
There's also the matter of looking at the links and deciding which ones to click - how to recognize propaganda or which ones are offering fake advice that is just a sales pitch for their product
you can use special characters to search (-,*,a tilde, etc) check out googleguide.com. they explain all of them.
Yes! My husband is appalling at google. He will spend 15 minutes searching for something that I can find in seconds. I dont know what he does wrong but he just sucks at it.
Mine's the same... though mine is dyslexic and he'll usually have some weird spelling combo going on.
Load More Replies...True. Challenge an information manager (AKA Librarian) to a google race. Prepare for humiliation
True. I always have to Google things for my mother because for some reason she can never find anything that I can find in a few seconds.
Some "Google" tricks - "put your search in quotes" and it will ONLY search for that - place a dash -before a word, and it will exclude that word from the search - use file:png for searching just .png files (does work with other types) - use site:sitename to search a specific site (do not include the http or www stuff) - use the keyword sitemap and then the website's name and you can usually see the directories of the public side of a site
Very true. And caffeine is like the only drug that they encourage you to use at work.
In the German army, they used to administer methamphetamine to soldiers.

I wish I could upvote this so many times. Kudos to you!
Load More Replies...I used to teach mindfulness meditation at a mental health center. A good percentage of them would fall asleep. I didn't have the heart to scold them for it because I thought it was a sign that they were sleep deprived. Aside from that, I was teaching this as a relaxation skill, not as a spiritual thing. So my view was that they could use what I was teaching any way that benefited them, including for getting sleep (which is something most people with mental health issues struggle with).
Oh when I was younger I had a love affair with sleep. Me and sleep we were always together. Now as I'm getting older I'm finding it harder and harder to get quality sleep even when I really really want and need it.!
Load More Replies...Actually if we were doing it the right way we’d go to bed at sundown and get two sleep periods through the night. That’s how it was always done before cheap lighting
Yes, and no. Not all cultures did that. What that does show though, is that it isn't necessarily abnormal to wake up in the middle of the night. We need to sleep the way that best suits us, instead of a one size fits all approach.
Load More Replies...it's because people tend to unite easier against something, than to unite for something
Personally I'm against people uniting against things and would like to find a community of like-minded people to who share that value.
Load More Replies...Isn't that basically what right-wing-oriented dating sites have turned into?
Brené Brown calls this "common enemy intimacy", and it's not actually a real intimacy.
A friend and I started talking due to the disliking of the same person, then it turned out that we had a lot of other things in common and started hanging out.
Someone could create the OnlyHaters, people will get more money than OnlyFans.
There is a FB group named I hate people. It's pretty interesting.
Load More Replies...This was tried with the Republican dating ap which failed because nobody wants to date a Republican…
Unfortunately, the modern world makes it hard for our minds to wander into the wilderness of unrelated thoughts. We’re constantly bombarded by daunting headlines, interrupted by our ringing devices, and feeling the weight of our personal and professional responsibilities every second of the day. So even when we strive to be peaceful and at ease, we find it extremely difficult to do so. Luckily for us, Napier explained that increasing our creativity doesn’t require much effort.
"I have a brutal commute from my home to my office — in heavy traffic, it can be....nine minutes! I'm lucky, of course, but realized a few years ago that even that amount of time could help me 'do nothing' and become more creative," she said and added that simply driving in silence to a place she knows how to get to without thinking made a huge difference. "I generated ideas, I solved problems, I came up with new dinner meals… It's a very simple act that I've recommended to many people who have real commutes — 20 or 30 or 45 minutes."
Like the monk that transcribed celebrate to celibate and now all priests are forever punished by essentially a typo... :-)
This REALLY happened: The first printing of the King James Bible is called "the Devil's Bible" because the word "not" was left out of the Ten Commandments. "Thou shall commit adultery", etc....

Hahahahaha hahaha hahaha....... No, but seriously... Our corporate overlords would never allow it. Unless union membership rises, we're more likely to lose the weekend.
Man, a lot of coughing on this thread. Maybe I should wear a mask while I browse here.
Religion. Not even a contest. The fact that so many continue to believe it, doesn't change the fact that a growing number of people are opening their eyes to the lie.
However, turning off the audio book or radio can be challenging for many people, so she suggests starting with one day a week or in the evenings on the way home. "Now that we're working from home more, however, it seems harder to find that clear cut quiet or 'nothing time,'" Napier noted. "I've been trying (not fully successfully, I'll admit) to take 30 minutes after my morning work time to just lie down, go into that semi-sleep mode, and boom, good ideas seem to come then. Once again, by giving my brain a little 'downtime,' it continues to work but maybe goes at its own pace and then drops some creativity on its own time."
There are several animals I‘d prefer to be alive over some people.
Let's start with every beautiful animal that's been shot by Donald Jr.
Load More Replies...Yea, for Steve we have to go down to the level of insects. 10 bees are pretty important.
Load More Replies...Well, Steve was just stupid, so he's probably good for a fair number of fish. Dave, on the other hand, I'd trade for a goldfish cracker and feel guilty about getting such a good deal.
There was a an injured hawk in the parking place at work. About six of us were gathered around it trying to decide how best to help it. I told them that I'd trade the hawk's life for all of theirs. Obviously I'm the popular one at work. :)
There are maybe 5 people on the planet i'd prioritize over the life of an animal, and even then it'd be close.
That's because Steve microwaved fish in the restroom microwave at lunchtime.
You've got a microwave in the RESTROOM? Uhm, WHY??
Load More Replies...Generally speaking, I like animals a whole lot more than people. I have degrees in Psychology and Sociology, and I also minored in Anthropology, in college, so knowing that much about humans...has not endeared them to me.
Followed by the thought that accordingly he could have played counter-terrorist and thus had to prevent the terrorists blowing up stuff.
My first thought was I wonder if he was a counter-terrorist
Load More Replies...Sooo... There may be people out there who, by beating him when he was in the wrong mood, caused him to go capture someone or kill someone?
There's probably enough in one country. Each 'load' has hundreds of millions..
This is why jerking off should be illegal. It's murder...all those sperms going to waste. Pro lifers, make it happen
Load More Replies...Well, for both logistical and legal grounds it wouldn´t be easy (though the latter might be changed rather quickly). Many regions would probably become deserted, and after the original batches they´d have to wait for many years to get some new stuff. Of course it would be great for earth, loosing half of humanity in an instant and then gradually more over the next decades.
I am beginning to think that wouldn't be a bad thing. Almost all of mass shooting, wars, child molesting and bad politics are done by men. How many OLD, OLD men are making decisions in the supreme court and Senate?
For a generation or three, maybe, humanity's track record with finite resources isn't exactly "good"
I love all the women jumping in "oh how the world would be a better place" like yer sh*t don't stink. Aye we're the only ones with bad habits, bad attitudes and the inability to treat people well.
Personally. Here's my idea. We're all s**t. =D Argument over. Flowers should rule the world *laughs in evil flowey noises*
Load More Replies...Genuine question. 1. Trans women as in MtF people. Would they be effected by this? Because how would men disappear. If it was men as in people who identify as men then why only them who disappear? What made them disappear? If not then is it biological? Is it a genetics thing? Lots of questions
Men, anyone who looks like a man, anyone who acts like a man, anyone who thinks like a man, anyone stupid enough to want to be a man. Every last one of them gone. Then we need to figure out how to weed out the Republicans from the remaining gene pool...
Load More Replies...Napier pointed out that to become better at doing nothing, we have to "find activities that don't require heavy thought and use that as a time to let your brain wander; or have a set routine or habit that builds in some snippets of downtime." The professor mentioned several pockets of time that allows her to be in a relaxed state, have a distracted mind and let her imaginations run free. For example, her commute, taking a shower and making a coffee or a tea are short periods of time when she doesn't have to think.
Moreover, she sets the alarm to work for 40 minutes and then stop for 10, using that as downtime. "Some people lie down on a yoga mat and just meditate or sleep; ironing (20 minutes); laundry folding (5-10 minutes). Then, there are the specific gifts of time I offer to myself — when I declare I'll take an hour in the day to look at the clouds or birds," she said and added that while this doesn't happen often enough, she continues to work on it.
My EMT instructor told us that, but cautioned us on not singing Another One Bites The Dust if there are onlookers there!

Load More Replies...I've been using the beat of the cowbell from "Don't Fear the Reaper".
But won't you need more of it to really work?
Load More Replies...You should use Lady Gaga's Just Dance because it's 119 beats per minute, which is closer to the rate you should be using than Staying Alive's 103 bpm
Does anyone else remember how in addition to having a song as ringtone, you could also have a song play for the caller on the other end of the line?
Yes! I had "What I Got" by Sublime playing for anyone who called me
Load More Replies...I've always kept my phone on silent unless I'm expecting a call or text. I figure if it's important they'll leave a message. And spam calls never leave a message so it's all good.
Lucky! I get voicemails from some spam callers and it's really annoying.
Load More Replies...I paid money for the Red Dwarf theme tune. Used it for about 3 months then paid for 'Dance of the knights' from Romeo and Juliet.
With the sheer number of annoying ring tones available and in use, is it any wonder no one wants to hear any of them?
My friend used to work at a sex shop and I lived up the street, I’d go hang out there with her on my lunch break. They had shopping baskets with a plastic lifting pinic-basket style lid on top for discretion from other customers which I thought was cool :) she was always very subtle with her customers too when she asked if they needed any help learning how to use the products. One thing I can tell you all is that NO ONE is judging you for going to a sex shop, least of all the employees. You’re just another customer to them!

I had a younger coworker ask me to go with, i had her write down what she was looking for. I have no shame so asked the clerk, described that i was looking for external+ internal for someone new to toy scene. Clerk was very helpful and they definitely Aren't judgemental! For myself it was fun discussing merits of various materials for tying down without feeling like i shared too much
Worked at Spencer Gifts ages ago (well before on-line shopping). When a woman came in to buy a "personal massager", she inevitably felt the need to explain that it was for a bachelorette party.😉
Or by appointment so no one else can see what you're looking to buy.
"Ah yes, the Weapon Of A*s Destruction, i have this model at home. Would you like some lube with that sir?"
"I suspect now, more than ever, we need the self-care of doing nothing now and then, and we need to make it something that happens regularly, not just when we're forced into it (when we get sick, injured)," Napier told us. So our advice for you today, dear readers, is to allow yourselves to be bored and witness how quickly you can come up with fascinating and deep musings. If you have any other ideas on how to get better at doing absolutely nothing, let us know about them in the comments!

So true, I went to the wolf park and they where much more "leggier" tall and thinner then I expected. Still beautiful animals..
Saw one walking on the side of the road in northern Minnesota and just as you describe it had longer legs and was slimmer than a dog. Which is how we realized we had just driven past a wolf.
Load More Replies...When I was a kid I used to spend some time on a Rez. One day we were sitting on the porch with some friends and their uncle came up on the porch. I said "Wow! That's a really neat dog you have. Can I pet it?" He told me it wasn't a dog, it was a wolf. Yes, it was safe to pet the wolf. Very docile and layedown to enjoy the the scratches. Their hair is very coarse and thick. Pretty amazing experience.
We use to have a wolf hybrid who lived at a farm a few streets down. He would break out a couple times a year and roam the neighborhood. Each time he would sneak up quiet as a mouse and shock the heck out of me. Thought I was going crazy until one early morning my mom saw him with me and literally gasped. They are huge!
Not everywhere. There are many other breeds like Czechoslovakian Wolfdog (československý vlčák) and it's very old breed of dogs. They are huge, thin, muscular and need a firm guidance but they sometimes appear in old or modern movies from Europe.
Also it depends on the type of wolf. Iberian wolves are very small compared to huskys
Load More Replies...I mean, not true. A lot of them are hybrids. Especially these days. There's also tons of breeds that look like wolves. Not just huskies. I don't think you understand how many dog breeds are out there that you've just never heard of.
I don't know why you were downvoted. There's a pretty famous example in Game of Thrones, which used Northern Inuit dogs, one such wolf-like breed, to play the young direwolves. And I don't ever recall a husky being passed off as a wolf, so I think you're right.
Load More Replies...Depends on the kind of wolves. North American wolves are the biggest breed. They are huge. European ones are smaller on average.
This. European wolves are quite average. Not small, but also not huge. Tallest wolves are timber wolves.

Load More Replies...?? Learning takes time. 100 years ago you could have said the same thing about the "mysteries of genetics" or a few hundred years earlier about the "mysteries of chemistry". Why do people always assume knowledge is instant?
Right? Give us a chance! We are still learning so much.
Load More Replies...Don't confuse intelligence with knowledge. Every time intelligence makes a new discovery it becomes knowledge. Even if you are not intelligent you can know the sun is a fusion reaction, but you will not discover that it's fusion reaction. Before we found out what powered the sun, we had to discover the atom and how it worked etc etc. Each little piece of knowledge pushes intelligence to discover new knowledge. The physics we teach at school today was stuff of investigation and schoolers 100 years ago. Einstein himself started wondering as a kid what would it be like to travel at the speed of light, what would he see if he saw anything. 200 years before investigators were discovering the properties of light. The knowledge about light is what triggered Einstein’s thoughts. We know more now about the universe then we ever could have imagined, every little discovery adds to the knowledge.
There is still the limit of comprehension. A five year old will never comprehend quantum physics formulas, no matter how much time you spend explaining it. As such it is perfectly possible that there are things that no adult human will ever be able to wrap their head around.
Load More Replies...animals understand alot more than we think. be thankful they don't speak
Actually......I see a lot of humans who can't understand things past the intelligence level of animals, like jellyfish.
But jellyfish have lived thousands of years with no brain.
Load More Replies...Somewhere something is watching us and either thinking how cute we are or how we might be dangerous..
Trust me. Animals are much smarter than the majority of humans. And weirdly enough the more people in a group, the higher level of stupidity shows. I work at the zoo and see the craziest behavior from the hundreds of people I see while on shift.
So we are monsters for killing animals to survive? What about the animals that kill for food? Or what about the animals that just kill for fun? I can't stand when people say how awful we are for eating and surviving! We definitely weren't meant to eat leaves that's for damn sure!
Load More Replies...queueing up animals, breaking up their families, shooting them in the head in front of their herd, shoving a big hook through them, and then using a large grinder to cut them in half and have their guts fall all over the floor, is nothing short of a horror movie at its most extreme. It's disgusting and barbaric.
We truly are, I watched a farmer cut the ears off corn stalks, the eyes out of potatoes....the horror! Both go well with a steak btw!
Load More Replies...I am vegetarian so don’t eat meat or fish…I sometimes think people are monsters for killing animals but would never force my opinion on anyone
You are the kind of vegetarian I have no issues with!! And I don't ask vegetarians, how they don't eat meat. It's just rude.

It didn't used to be that egregious, but the rise of McDonalds and other fast food places has necessitated atrocious methods, and we all know that. Yet so many continue to passively support such practices because "nom nom nom" I"M SO BUSY "nom nom nom" IT'S SO CHEAP"
Actually with almost 7 Billion people on earth, that's what necessitates it actually. Not just fast food.. nice try though

We already have GMO, and not only crops. Everything that was cultivated or bred is a GMO or genetic modified organism. Dogs, all common crops, apples, bananas, etc. We have fed the world for most of humankind's history with GMO's.

Fortunately the environmental movement got going in the 60s/70s or we would be worse off than we are now. Uphill battle though. Those 50s type did not want to give up their "right" to pollute.
The same type of people now deny climate change, and the effects of overpopulation on the earth. I don't why people want to believe that the only effects we could have on the planet are positive ones.

We would burn the foundations of civilization back into the Earth if we learned they were erected upon false premise. We would mindlessly attack the machine, not concerned with the living cogs and gears within it. Freedom is a spectrum. Best not let anyone else decide which version of free fits thee.
And ironically, some of that trash would be plastic little mermaid figurines, and accessories . .
My buddy is 29 and still lives with his parents, they love having him, I keep telling him LIVE THERE AS LONG AS YOU CAN. FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.
When I lived with my parents, taking care of them at the end of their lives -- NO ONE will date anybody living in an apartment above their parent's garage. Doesn't matter how noble the reason.
They were lucky to have have you with them at the end, as I'm quite sure you were also felt lucky to be able to be there for them at the end. So many people, especially adult children, refuse to be there for their aging parents. All those people who rejected you will end up being alone at the end of their life and most probably would have ignored their parents end of life times. You were I'm sure, a wonderful daughter and a wonderful person. You Octavia are awesome ❤️

Load More Replies...Yeah I live with my mom still. I don't get paid enough or care for the trouble of finding an "affordable" place. Thankfully I wasn't a kicked out at 18.
Yup, before real estate companies were a thing everyone lived with their parents forever.
What? My parents were born in 1938 and they both moved out of their parent's houses when they were 18.
Load More Replies...History repeats itself. There are many HUGE old homes where I live that have been cut into 2-5 apartments. These were homes that, at one time, housed family generations of one family together. Maybe they'll have to start restoring them to single family homes?
That was definitely true in the 80s. There was a lot of pressure then to get your own place. I moved out at 24 and that was waaay too old per my peers at the time. With housing prices/wages today, I'd probably still be living with my parents with husband and kids!
That's interesting. Where I live it was seen as very reasonable to live with your parents while you go through uni or when first starting full time work. Then again, it is a low socio-economic area, but all my uni friends, from different parts of the state were living with their parents, some until they got married in their late 20s.

Cutting any stone material will do that if you don't wear a mask. Both natural and manufactured stone. As well as glass and tiling materials.
Load More Replies...I like to sell my pallets back to warehouses. They are pretty resalable, in fact there are people who go around stealing them for resale all the time. Personally I wouldn't throw away a good counter because I'd gotten shipped a pallet with a different color because pallets really aren't that hard to repaint. Only would do that to my counter if my color palette was changing.
*palette. ( Palette is the one that refers to a group of colors. Palate is the one that refers to the roof of your mouth, or your sense of taste. Pallet is one of those wooden squares that you put heavy things on so you can pick them up with a forklift. English is really messed up. )
Ugh, so true. I hate seeing all the renovations of perfectly good, sturdy materials just because someone wanted an "updated" look. Especially such durable materials as wood-not-pressboard cabinets and stone countertops.

Your 9am may well be my 9pm - Time is relative to the person experiencing it.
Exactly. I used to work nights & would be drinking at 9 am after shift.
Load More Replies...Airports are like pirate territories : you can drink at any time of the day and nobody would care.
We used to finish at an after hour club at around 11am and go to a 24 hour restaurant and have a T bone drink beers & few shots
I used to work 10:00p to 6:00a. So when you see me purchasing beer at 7:00a, don't judge or make assumptions, please.
When I worked Night shift, after a particularly bad one we all decided to have breakfast together at a local Mexican restaurant that was known for selling alcohol in the morning. We had pitchers of stuff brought to the table. There were 2 officers having their breakfast and looking mildly concerned at the number of people wearing scrubs having drinks that early. I made sure to comment about what a rough night it had been, so they could have some context to what they were seeing.
At 9am I am usually just getting off of work and it would be, and sometimes is, a great time for a beer.
That dude might have just finished a 12 hr flight and it's 9pm for him, you never know lol
The vast majority of people consumed alcohol since it was created. Before germ theory was discovered, people drank alcohol more than water. Water can be contaminated and make you sick or die. Alcohol saves you from such trouble and makes life more fun to boot...
Load More Replies...In the middle ages they had two kinds of beer. A weak beer that was to be drunk over day (even by children) because it was cleaner than water, and a strong beer that by law could only be sold in the evening, when nobody had to work any more
What about the generations before the discovery of alcohol in 3000 BC? ;)
Elephants and chimps go to trees with hollows in, where the fruit falls in and ferments. Brewing maybe was discovered in 3000bc, but alcohol long before that.
Load More Replies...Prior to this generation so many more were 'self-medicating' with alcohol instead of taking anti depressants..
You could get laudanum at the corner store without a prescription. I would have loved that with the pain issues I have but they had a lot of problems with drug addicts then too. I think another ancient problem is people had to drink wine because the water was unsafe. There could be cholera and nasty stuff in the water you were drinking but pretty sure the wine was generally safe to drink.
Load More Replies...Honestly yeah I was raised against it and I've never touched alcohol or anything related to smoking. Always sober feels great and I've never cared to try anything of that sort. To each their own though. I just don't want to live dependent on alcohol and having nights I can't remember. Not mad at people who do. Just not for me.

I think this is needlessly pessimistic. It is possible to better your position, at least in my country. Plenty of common people have achieved significant financial success. I am assuming here that “common” meant “not born wealthy.”
If you have a million dollars you can spend $100,000 a day for 10 days, if you have a billion dollars you could spend $100,000 a day for over 27 years
And people keep voting for wealthy politicians bc they honestly believe it will rub off on them??
This analogy whooshes past many people too, as there are many who look at the size of those two things as being literal for where we see them.
Nothing seems the same about any of those things, there's a million and then there's a thousand millions. There's the moon of a planet and then there's sol the giver of life to which the entire system revolves around

And FYI, both Goofy and Bluto are the only characters in the Micky Mouse cartoons who can be proven to have had sex (not with each other, you sickos).
I mean, getting stabbed with a sword is getting stabbed with a sword even if you only lose 1 HP
I always thought that dropping your phone on your face while lying in bed was the equivalent to 1HP.
YUP and stubbing your toe would be 2hp and hitting your funny "bone" (nerve) would be like... 3-5hp
Load More Replies...Depending on which game it can mean Hit Points or Health Points. Basically how many times your character can get hit before unaliving.
Load More Replies...Depends on your conversion factor. 1 HP when your maximum is 10 is like cutting off your foot, 1 HP when your maximum is 10,000 is like being headbutted by your cat
Great, now you've got me thinking. I wonder how much those 52 attack swords I use would hurt.
Well, considering we are all commoners with 4hp, that's about a quarter of our total health.
This is so out of left field. If I drop a can of beans on my toe that hurts like the devil. Getting stuck in the guts in VR is just a pain in the butt. And doesn't make you lose a toenail and go to work with a slipper on one foot for about six weeks. My eyes have rolled so hard, that hurts.
It's weird, if that situation was IRL ( I mean not on a stage, but in a normal setting with normal people) then Chris Rock would've gotten a LOT less sympathy..
