(Does it count as a shower thought if it was my lawn getting showered? lol)
I’ve got a handful of 55-gallon rain barrels and a pump I use for watering the lawn/garden. We’ve had a pretty rainy summer, so I haven’t needed to use them much - in fact, I’ve had to dump them a few times because of the excess rainfall.
It’s been hot and dry all week, so I gave everything a good, deep soak early this morning and had this thought.
rain barrels are illegal where I live 😒
Unless they’re talking about saving the barrel for a rainy day so they can collect rainwater in it.
Yeah, but that’s taking the idiom literally which isn’t really the point of the post
I think they’re joking.
Yeah, this rain-collecting barrel? I’m saving it for a rainy day. Gonna be real useful then.
You don’t follow literalism? Our founding fathers REEEEEE
Saving it from a rainy day.
Savings from a rainy day
Save it for a drought day.
More apt, but doesn’t quite have the same ring to it lol.
Well, when you use money you’ve saved from the bank, you’re cutting a check. Barrels full of water from the sky are clearly rain checks.
Oh Christ I have 1000 gallons of rain water storage and I’m stealing that joke…
Wasn’t expecting a dad joke, but I’ll take it.
If it weren’t for the lengthy explanation after the title, I’d say this is the real “showerthoughts” post I’ve seen in weeks.
I don’t understand why this lemmy comm has such a hard time with the concept.
Are droughts the rainy days of the plant kingdom?
