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
- 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)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

When people tell me 'money doesn't buy happiness', I tell them 'it removes a lot of anxiety'.
These people don't have any anxiety anymore, and believe they can do anything. Most of the time they're right.
Once your basic needs are met money can't really make you that much happier. They did a study on a bunch of people and they found that once you have all the needs met you can't buy happiness
Which means that until all your needs are met money actually does buy happiness.
