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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

And when they perform raids, they should be required to shout "This is a F.A.C.T. jack"! Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Crossing a country border doesn't even prevent that.

Really depends on what countries you're talking about.

At the very least, you're likely to need to pay taxes on the goods, which is part of what the state laws are about. Confederacies like the EU maybe excepted.

Sure if I take it back over the border. The scenario I had in my mind was going to see friends or taking it back to a hotel room.

I've lost track of what concern you had and in what scenario and why it was bad compared to what, but ok.
