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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

A billionaire could finance some UFO-looking drones to swarm a town, then invest in the real estate and tourism in that town and profit. (self.showerthoughts)

I was just thinking about how people still go to Roswell, NM to visit the alien museum and yet those UFO sighting events took place decades ago.

Imagine if new sightings took place frequently in some town. That would probably change the local economy of the town.

I would invest after the UFOs

With enough of them, property values will go down as people move away

Once it's identified as a hoax, the value will correct itself over time
