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
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 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-----

Excessive amounts of money.
Excessive is a different threshold for each person. For some, it's "so much that I've lost touch with the reality of human struggle." For others, it's "just enough so I can stop pretending I'm not a giant douche."
Yes, and for quite a few money doesn't even change anything. People are different.
It's less about the specific amount and more about the comparative relation. Having a lot more money than other people fucks you up; if you're interested in the specifics, Some More News did a dive into the literature on it, and they have citations.
