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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

MODERATORS
Income should be the exponent. Lets say that the fine you pay on your n'th infraction within a 365 day period is
f = I f_0 exp( (I / I_0) (n - 1) )where
f_0is some reasonable fraction of income for the first fine (say 0.1 %),Iis your income, andI_0is some appropriate modifier (say 100 k EUR / yr). That way, people with incomeI < I_0pay an essentially flat fine until they reach very many infractions, while people with large incomes will reach massive fines very quickly.
