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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

:( oops but would that still be rich in the first world? (well our currency (egyptian pound is weak) so yeah)
Yes, obscenely wealthy lol get over it
Bad community
wdym
They mean this doesn't belong in showerthoughts, which is where you posted this.
To answer your question, owning a factory which produces capital, assuming it's solvent, would make you pretty squarely above middle class. You own means of production. You are bourgeoisie.
what about with a home in a gated community and a vacation home (egypt). alongside with the business would that be upper class?
The thing is that there is an enormous difference between upper class and wealthy.
Yes. That is upper class. It is distinctly bourgeois.
so what would upper class maybe be then
North of middle
No, that's rich.
Is your profile picture from Lego Robot?
Awww I forgot about the trans fats joke
... maybe? It's "anger powered jet packs" from an ancient meme image that I'm not sure the source of:
Oof, I always forget about that last one.
Haha, yeah that's definitely Lego Robot.

Also yeah, several more oofs on my way to finding that.
You posted this in the wrong community. Shower thoughts is not for questions.
It's sad that you have all that wealth and still feel empty enough inside to need to brag online.
Wrong community but i want to give this a fair assessment because of how many don't want to unity against the rich thinking they are it and would have to live with less.
This scenario is not ruling class.
Summarised its wealthy business owner that owns plural properties.
This can be considered high end middle class. And is a good example of how little most people really have. The Middle class that most people believe they belong to is basically just business owners nowadays, almost everyone who is “employee” and not owner is lower class.
The actual rich, 1% upper class which will look at this family and person as dirt.
The 1% upper class does not just stay in a 5 star hotel as if it was note worthy expense. Their accommodations are simply arranged and provided.
They'd laugh at “owns a resort” because thats just a single asset to put on their portfolio of ownerships.
They don’t consider whether or not something is egypt because they are free to fly wherever they want.
The rich will swallow this wealthy person and family whole if their greed finds them.
I think you’re confusing the 1% with the 0.1 and 0.01 and 0.001% wealth tiers
Top 1% starts around a million USD but can vary slightly with cost of living. Even the 0.1% might only have a few million dollars.
Only the top 0.01 to 0.001% have unlimited wealth
OP is at minimum in the 1% but likely in the 0.1%
Social class? Neutral Good.
You should know by now that a person's right to exist is defined by their net worth.
