        Ants get shit done. Humans can barely function when you get more than 2 dozen of us together.

        Ants are working together for the same goal though. Fuck this “can’t complain cause others have it worse” attitude.

              The part where you made a serious comment about a completely ridiculous fictional premise that was never intended to be serious.

                People make “can’t complain cause others have it worse” comments all the time, by forgetting the “/s” alls you’re doing is feeding into that.

                  How many hours do you think the work week should have?

                  It’s not that you can’t complain because others have it worse. It’s that any number (even 40) is just made up. If we worked 10, people would still complain.

                    1. Retire at 50. Housing, clothes, food, water, power, should all be basic rights.

                    People will always complain.

                      OK. So if someone works 20 and complains, you would also go “oh, stop complaining, you have it easy”. I’m really sleepy right now. But my point is at we point you have to draw a line between sensible and unreasonable.

    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.
