I’m doing well. I have a good life. But holy shit, I’m so tired. The world is so terrible and I’m just fed up. I wish I could just check out and take a break, but it keeps going. Cheers.

    This post is certainly outside of the norm of shower thoughts. I think in general people want posts that score a little higher on the scale of funny and interesting. Taking the sidebar strictly:

    • Does this thought pop into people’s heads? yeah, probably
    • Is it lighthearted? Not really, but its friendly.
    • Is it clever? No
    • Is it true? Yes

        Sorry I had to run and didn’t get to wrap up my thought.

        I don’t really mind if a post isn’t a perfect fit. I try to give the benefit of the doubt. If we had hundreds of really strong posts every day then I imagine I would be more strict. Lemmy is small so at least we can be friendly and supportive in decisions that aren’t clear cut.

    Take a week. Avoid any social media, news, etc. as much as you possibly can. Try to get out in nature by going for short walks and just focus on doing things you enjoy (or try something new). Yes, the world keeps going - but you need to recharge your batteries, my friend. Take. A. Break.

    He hears the silence howling

    Catches angels as they fall

    And the all-time winner

    Has got him by the balls

    Oh, he picks up Gideon’s Bible

    Open at page one

    I said, God, he stole the handle and,

    The train it won’t stop goin’

    No way to slow down

    No way to slow down

    No way to slow down

        If we do things as you seem to want, then there’s no point even having separate communities. Let’s just have one big bin and every day we can throw 10,000 conversation into it like junk.

        The rules are there for a reason.

              The world’s a tough place, Karen. If you want to redefine what a shower thought is, you’re free to create your own community. I see nothing in this post that contravenes “thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming”, and while I see you screeching that rule 2 is broken, consider that the title is, in fact, a complete thought. The text can be seen as followup or self-examination - do you need an explanation of what that is?
