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.

We can give him the honor of being eaten last.
It'll give him time to stop being a billionaire before it's too late.
Valve gives you a taste of gambling.
Every billionaire out there has become a billionaire by being a fucking idiot. No exceptions.

As far as I know Valve isn't one of those companies that employes a hundred thousand minimum-wage slaves, but one that's gotten big, by actually innovating, which is like the only potentially good aspect of capitalism and seems to not be something most corporations do anymore. Of course were this question to ever become relevant he would have to give up most of his wealth, but it's not like he is one of those billionaires that eat babies for breakfast.

Do we get to keep his boats?
He has at least 6. Maybe we can get HL3 if we say we want it to take place entirely on a giant yacht... 🤔

Sorry, but they must all be eaten. There should be no billionaires.
There's a real easy way for him to not be eaten. Make sure he has no more than $999, 999,999 in his pocket when we get there

I obviously should've posted this to unpopularopinions. Still, you guys need to really slow down and enjoy your showers more, JESUS.
There is a finite amount of money in this world. For one person to have more means others have less. There is no going around that simple fact.

Just universal wealth redistribution, there is no way a human may ever deserve to accumulate so many resources...
