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

As a cool side project I could see someone developing it. But I don't think any companies would put money into it. It doesn't add a huge amount of value to the product.

Actually it could detract value.

A consumer's computer's hd get corrupted. They're now playing space invaders. That means they're not buying a new computer.

For some people it works just be a delay, others may just resign themselves to play space invaders for eternity.
