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 (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

At least with job applications they tell you they want someone with 5 years Java experience. In dating no one tell you what they want.

Or 6 years of experience with that framework that's 3 years old which is par for the course for dating apps; unrealistic standards.

It would be nice if they said anything.

"Dogs, Travel, Tacos." Isn't a profile and yet 80% of the profiles I see are basically that, or "just ask."
