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

You must not be American. From an American perspective, employers are basically lawless.

I can tell that you have never dealt with an OSHA inspection. Like all things government, most of the rules make sense, some of them don't, and some things should be covered but aren't. It still breaks my brain that propane gas tank forklifts used indoors are allowed but an audible pneumatic hose leak supposedly isn't.

I have seen Cleatus scream about how they can't run their line because they hear a hose leak and use the forklift to drive to the break room. Sigh.
