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

They would be best suited for contacting aliens? Or do you mean talking with them? Traveling back to their world? What would they be better suited for?

They'll make better food, obviously.

I mean 1st world people are used to being in the know, having the best stuff, always being a purchase away from whatever you want, even if it takes time to save up money. As part of a larger galactic civilization, we will all be the newcomers, strangers to the wonders of a more advanced civilization.

I'm pretty sure this is a stoner thought, not a shower thought... Well maybe a stoner shower thought.

Hey, no need for shower shaming. As long as it doesn't hurt anyone they're within their rights to do as they please in the shower.

Hah. Fair enough.

If I were galactic civilization I'd avoid us like a plague -ridden mangy stray dog. Just saying.

Don't ogle the natives, just continue on into the iron rich core, take what you need, and leave. Got it?
