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

if you're at a point where they're stinging you you're probably doing something that would be considered illegal already

I remember being on one particular school trip as a kid, sitting down on a bench distracted, and a bee decided to go under my shirt and sting me in the back. I didn't even notice it until it stung me, so yeah, no, bees can be assholes too. Though that probably counts for the "probably" exception.

In the place I grew up in, that "illegal" thing would be going to a train station. Some beehive considered it theirs and would attack anyone going through.

Bee keepers get stung all the time
