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.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 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-----

Something like that, but most people probably don't realise the scope Zuckerberg had in mind for the Metaverse.
Mostly because it's ridiculous, but Zuckerberg imagined everything could be Metaverse. Work, but not just office and meetings, but also production both design and factories.
For home use shopping was pretty obvious, but even that seemingly low hanging fruit doesn't work. I bet he thought dating and holidays could be a thing too, somewhat like Total Recall.
It's kind of hilarious to try to imagine Zuckerberg lying awake at night, and think: "HEY! This crazy thing could work too, man this is going to be big."
LOL
