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.

More a shower question than a shower thought I guess, but still.

Maybe god does prevent Evil and the Universe is totally just and fair. The problem is humans thinking their version of Evil is the correct one. Maybe.

Imagine you're at the salon just chillin' getting your hair washed and trimmed and your nails done and two chairs over they're holding a guy down while he screams to do it by force like wtf is up with THAT guy?

Similar to how the term 'digital' has shifted from doing numeric calculations and storage to how it's used today, referring to content you purchase and stream or download from the internet.

Terminology changes over time, and I'm not sure that I like some of the changes. 🤷

Train thought, but in the sense of Economy, Billionaires are holding and gather capital without putting or only a fraction of it back to the free market.

So, they are the biggest threat to a free matket Economy.

Disclaimer: yes, the Wikipedia article mentions this possibility, but I had the shower thought before I went to look up if this was right. I was watching a Super Monkey Ball video where the narrator mentioned the Cleveland Browns but said it with a cadence that sounded like a first and last name. And then I realized.

Otherwise, I can't explain why they don't take it more seriously to stand up to bots. Even more so with meta and their eagerness to put in more accounts pretending to be human to "cover the friend market".

Besides, what's to stop them? They are the ones who control the information and surely they know perfectly well which accounts are authentic and which are bots. Maybe even several of those accounts are controlled directly by them and they use them to inflate the statistics to charge advertisers even more.

Or maybe I'm jut tripping...

I lost it, I searched "shower" to find the appropriate ... Sublem? Lemming hole? --Place to post it. Without turning off nsfw content, searching the word "shower" will completely destroy your train of thought. It really was so philosophical and I feel stupid now, half an hour later.

But the advantage is that Lemmy allows Tor. 😅

Especially gas powered ones. If you are going to blow refuse in the street, can’t you at least do it quietly?
