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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Rudolph the rednosed reindeer

It is bad to be different as long as it is not economically exploitable

Every fairy tale with a good king/queen/princess/prince?

Or One Thousand and One Nights has the king killing his wifes left and right, but by the end it's alright, because he really loves his current wife now...

Since you are asking for cautionary tales, The Fisherman and his Wife might a better fit. Just be glad of what you have and don't strive for advancing.
