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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

Considering people seem to correlate scarcity with value, yeah, big time.

I also doubt people would be willing to hunt/farm xenomorphs if they couldn’t get paid exorbitantly.

Oh and I’d imagine people who have that eccentric desire to be the top of the food chain would probably think it’s the best food ever. “You’re not a real man ™️ till you’ve eaten xenomorph meat” lol


Sidenote: I just had an idea for xenomorph farming:

  1. Find asteroid with enough gravity to keep the xenomorphs from yeeting themselves into space.
  2. Place egg.
  3. Add hosts.
  4. wait.
  5. Use robot to retrieve an egg and make sure it stays entirely sealed away with no chance of human contact.
  6. Throw another asteroid at the main one fast enough it liquifies both.
  7. Collect obliterated xenomorph parts and cook them as they enter collection to make sure they’re dead.
  8. sell to patrons for enough money to buy new asteroid and repeat the process.
  9. profit
  10. Eventually make a mistake and die a horrible death
