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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

This couldn't be more incorrect. Memento mori is a call for humility. Carpe diem is a call for purposeful action. YOLO is a "hold my beer" moment preceding a calculated stupidity.
What if waiting for conditions to be perfect before you come out of your shell is placing too much value on one’s own dignity?
