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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics 3.1) If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
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 UK already owns it. I’m pretty sure Terminator takes the name from the UK military satellite network. And SpaceX has launched Skynet satellites for them before so there is probably some agreement.
The NSA also already has a surveillance program named SKYNET, which uses machine learning. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SKYNET_(surveillance_program)
That one I’m pretty sure was named after the Terminator program.
