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

I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!

they can’t fire you for wearing shorts.

True, but they can disrespect you for failing to fit in with the corporate culture. Honestly, I'd rather be fired.

There are plenty of workplaces where you can wear "whatever you want", and I'm happy to work at one of those... But the clothes you choose to wear still has consequences. I can totally turn up to work in a full suit/tie/etc if I want. But I'd stick out like a sore thumb.
