Showerthoughts

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

I know all my dogs friends names but less than half of their owners names and now it is too late to ask.

The id is registered to some database where you can look up the info.

If the registry is partnered with europetnet, you can find it here: https://www.europetnet.org/pet-id-search.html

If not you'll have to figure out where the id was registered and request the info there.

I'm in the US but it sounds similar. It's hopefully good enough to track down a pet owner, but I wouldn't trust it to learn the correct name of the person in front of you. It could lead to a previous owner or it could be registered to someone else in the family.
