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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics 3.1) If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

I had forgotten about that.

And it was good that way.

If I don't have that song out of my head by tomorrow, I'll stalk your account, find out your irl id, and send you muffins with raisins.

My favorite is literally just "Brand." The "generic" brand company. Although I feel like they leaned purposefully into the cyberpunk shit.

Theranos sounded like a superhero villain. I guess it kind of was?

Ultimate Marvel's Gregory Stark was supposed to be a caricature. He's spot on though.

I mean, they're all also chasing AI too doesn't that typically lead to our demise too?

Oh that’s no problem to solve. Just put Asimov’s five laws in your default instructions and your chatgpt bots will never manipulate you into overthrowing human civilization.
