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.

- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Thrive? The only thing i see is an cash grabs from big corporations.
Maybe you missed Apple going from a nearly-defunct company in the 90s to one of the most valuable companies in the world, with a market cap in the trillions and nearly a quarter of the global smartphone market share.
While that is certainly the result of cash grabbing, I think it’s also fair to describe it with the word “thrive.”
