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

What world is it where robots do art while humans do the tedious manual labor?

A world where profits are put over people.

Well, I meant it more like "can you imagine how horrible such a world is?" Not just "can you imagine it?"

Because yeah, you barely need to imagine it at all

Oh no... I figured it out. Quark never left this timeline when he jumped back to Roswell! We are living in a universe where Quark secretly runs the world! It's the only explanation for this madness!
