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.

Interesting how artists don't make enough money from their creations, so our solution is to make certain information illegal to share, rather than give them a universal basic income. (lemm.ee)

Have you met people? Get out of your bubble. Fucking hell, thats the daftest thing Ive ever heard, and I got an A in gender studies. (It was an elective, and I wanted to challenge my view that gender studies was bullshit, sue me)

There you go showing the class that you DIDNT do your homework.

There has been UBI implemented for studies in multiple countries around the world and overwhelmingly they show that people still choose to work.

Fuck off back your conservative bubble.

Yeah. Most that I've met work hard to improve their lot, even the few I know who were born rich enough that they don't have to. Just because you'd be a lazy sack of shit if you could get away with it doesn't mean everyone else would.

I mean, the fact we have the modern world at all is evidence motivation doesn’t stop just because basic needs are met.

If that were all the human drive had in it, that is where we would be.
