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. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

If AI is doing all the jobs, then those who used to do those jobs are now unemployed and broke, but at least they can spend more time with their family, outdoors, at the homeless camp.
ended more wholesome than I thought.
what I thought,
Its their reason for being, no?
OP sounds like an insufferable shill spouting "they are just looking for the criminals and illegals" while everyone is being lined up at gunpoint outside of the gas chambers of the concentration camp.
The thing i find most insufferable is your hyperbole.
My guy, if the AI did all the jobs, what are the people supposed to do?
I mean, it'd be amazing for a socialist society, but under capitalism it straight up sucks
Spend time with their family... like in the op
But they'd be unemployed, and therefore wouldn't have money for shit. So nice, you can starve to death with your family
We'd all be unemployed. No jobs.
