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.

Some people aren't aware of order of incidence.
Lol yes
The US economy is going TO THE MOON!! HODL!!!
DIAMOND HANDS!
BANG! ZOOM!
Yeah, right after 2028
you're an optimist
Not quite. The US economy is a large, slow-moving mass, and even with the chaos-monkey-in-chief doing his worst there will be meaningful economic activity: food will be grown, wages and rent paid, other goods manufactured even if only for local use. Crypto, meanwhile, has no connections to the world other than a fringe of payments which, for various reasons, cannot be made by other, vastly more efficient means. A scenario where the two are equally stable would look like a zombie apocalypse or similar.

Dude. We already had that. It was called 2020.
LFG!!! SNP500 🚀 🌕 📈
Pamp it!
This is fine; I am fine with this
Crypto is the new "Brooklyn Bridge". More snake oil anyone?
It's even moving along with the ups and downs of the stock market lately. It's almost as if the same rat bastards got control of both.
That was clear in 2020
And I think with the advent of AI, the amount of energy crypto consumes is probably not as big of a deal anymore. Don't get me wrong, it's still an issue, I'm just saying in comparison to what AI will use it's probably negligible.
I guess that's the American way. Forget about your self-created problems with much larger self-created problems.
Not only that but proof of stake is a thing now. So not every crypto needs to have a nuclear plant worth of energy to be mined.
