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

The cartoon that I saw showed the first 2 pigs dancing and goofing around after they quickly built their houses, while the third pig continued working on his brick house. I always thought the moral was a simple "work now, play later".

I thought it was, "Never trust a wolf who wants in your house?"

I thought it was that you should build your house out of decently strong materials or it may collapse under a stiff breeze

Yes, exactly. If those silly poor people only worked harder they too could be aristocracy.

How is that different from blaming poor people they have a bad work ethic?

Because it was a message about needed to stockpile for the winter or other emergencies. It was a message from parents to their children.
