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

After receiving an upvote it should get exponentially harder to give more. Like votes 1-10 you have to double click; 10-20 triple click... At 100 you have to do a captcha. Just keep adding obstacles. (self.showerthoughts)

This is an interesting idea. A terrible implementation, but that's just because 50-100 feral bots can outperform a human on most any digital metric.Things humans can do that bots can't tend to be really thinky, and so don't make good, easy checks.

I, personally, believe we'll be shoved off the greater Internet by bots and malicious automation one day. There's no solution that isn't "fight and lose" But yeah, interesting idea!
