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
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It does if you remove it from its context where they used it more like "you should be humble, you'll die like everyone else", carpe diem was used more similarly to yolo
Carpe diem is a call to action - to not fritter your life away on inconsequential things. YOLO is a polite way to say "fuck it".
I said more similar, as in more than memento mori
Similarer, if you will
