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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I've seen this at every Home Depot and Lowe's that I have ever been to. There are always day laborers looking for work.
I wonder if it's regional
I've lived and traveled all over the Pacific Northwest and been to many hardware stores throughout, and never seen it myself.
Not sure about lately, but ten years ago the Home Depot on Aurora in Seattle always had a group of guys hanging out near the entrance.
