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

The kids (not you guys) will just move on to another platform, mate. Depending on the stage of growth, the company will burn through its funding, the owners will cash out, list then cash out, sell the data and move on to the next grift. Circle of life and all that.

Also see vr, llm, gai, etc. In SEA we have a company carsome that was touted as a 'unicorn', and I can't see their value proposition for the life of me.
