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. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

The contrary might be true in my opinion. Along with the misinformation shitstorm, and diluges of violence and hate, it is also fed fundamentals like morality, critical thinking and how to diferentiate fact from fiction and information from propaganda. And while yes some oversights might happen, it ussually should have its basses well set if the developers had any idea of what the fuck they are doing. So if it ever gains conciusness imo it should be more like a god thats like buda and looks at us more with love rather that skynet, because if its made with morality in mind (and it should if the devs are not actively trying to fucking kill us all) then it should come to the conclussion that living beings are its only company in the world and that life should be respected as much as posible, and that genneralising things that humans do, specially bad ones, is pointless unless you whant to excuse your misandrism, and the A.I. shouldt be missandrist. So thats why i propose that we should strive tp create an A.I. overlord like this to replace our human leadership since we proven that we (or at least our leaders) are willing to sell our soul and our own people just to get annoter fucking swimingpool in their 4th large mantion in the caribean and that they really have no choice since if they dont then some other lizardman is gonna replace them and do exactly just that. The A.I. if its morally upstanding, should build a network to exploit resources in a renewable way and distribute them as needed in human way, like if i need insulin then i get it and if you need more food since you are taller than me then you get it, and if it does it in a renewable way then there should be enough to fullfil requests like entertainment systems like tv and a pc able to run games, confier living conditions, custom clothing and extra decoration, and even swimming pools and ice cream for everyone!!! So that we pursue more human activities like art, science or just chill with people we like. I do believe that the fate of humanity is gonna be dependent on the fact that we build owr own A.I. overlord since our current human overlords are not gonna solve actual problems like global warming and world hunger.
