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:
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.
This post is about a decade late. It's already like that or worse.
So, the real question is - what are you doing about it beside whining into the void? Don't reply to me.
Look yourself in the mirror and confront the fact that all of this is happening all around you while you refuse to deviate from your normal daily routine.
The song goes
The people’s revolution is going to be a podcast
What do you mean "will be"?
We're already there.
Gestapo agents go door to door
Police patrol the schools
Your every movement is recorded and tracked
Your devices and your wifi can and are used to record your surroundings and identify people with a degree of accuracy that would give kaczynski an aneurism.
Your every keystroke and page view is stored, monitored and indexed by companies under the guise of 'legitimate interest'
Any comments that are deemed negative about technology, 'AI' and the actions of the state are monitored and catalogued
'AI' systems are already being used to target people with drone strikes
...And yet we all stand here talking as if these things are from some sci fi dystopian future
Yeah, the bear trap has already sprung. The people haven't realized it because they haven't tried to pull their leg free yet.
I honestly didn't mean to doom post so early in the day. It started as a pithy one-liner and snowballed the more I thought about it.
It's really not looking good, is it.
Apologies for 'yes, and'-ing your thoughts into worse ones, but at least you're not the only one noticing these things
They're already censoring any hint of a rebellion. I was banned from Reddit for saying "fuck Republicans", didn't even get a warning. They don't want people to know other people are also angry and start thinking they could do something.
I’d like to remind you that we’re in a drought, please limit your shower time.
No. You'll have to drag me out.
I'm fully soap-ed and not afraid to flail
Yeah! Fight the power!
That’s why revolutionary communication should be low tech and on a need to know basis. Or so I‘ve heard.
Someone used all the hot water eh?
Man, I was just trying to enjoy my coffee before heading into work. Feels like some Prophet of Doom just stepped into my mind and took a piss all over my thoughts.
Now I am late. Ugh. I hate this timeline
Yeah it's pretty average, possibly not quite as bad as your original post though, shutting it off is hard, the kleptos who steal everyone's money wont be able to shut off the tap.
millions of people can work together fine, it's when you go beyond that and start expecting most people to get along that things fall apart.
