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.

The end game of all this is we sit at home living on our universal basic income and and AI runs our lives, it's all AI talking to AI. Except I'm not sure how we will eat, maybe a series of feeding tubes could be installed to each house to dispense the appropriate amount of food based on BMI and social status.
Lol no it's not is going to be fucking Elysium. And that's only if they actually figure out how to do AGI not LLM bs
Would be great. Never going to happen in a capitalist society though. No private company is going to allow it to happen. So governments would have to make their own and outcompete the private companies.
Not even European countries, or for that matter my own country, Denmark, is going to do that, because competing against private companies is seen as a bad thing for some stupid fucking reason.
