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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

We're lucky that our bodies require sleep, otherwise our cultures would have us working 16-20 hour days. (self.showerthoughts)

Yeah capitalism is eating itself. Curious to know what will come out of it. Communist dystopia 1984 style or some kind of Star Trek like future or something in between? The way I would like see this going is 1st UBI route then eventually money ends and society digures out some other motivator to keep us going. But until then lots of bs will happen. This Beast is wounded scared angry and won't go down without a fight.

I think climate change will probably prevent that from happening any time soon
