They think that huge truck is gonna make them feel accepted and thus loved and actually they’re just sad that their parents didn’t hug them enough and tell them it’s okay to feel pain or sadness

i mean this is true in some cases, but out where I live if you dont own a truck or have somebody in your house that owns a truck its going to be a massive pain in the ass just maintaining your property. it may be hauling supplies from tractor supply or trying to remove a bunch of scrap metal from a field or even just getting to the places you need to when the water table is so high that you could dig a well by stomping too hard, but you need to at least have access to one.

edit: unfucked grammar and such

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:

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.
