Showerthoughts

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.

Gotta start at the top
That's obvious to everyone except OP, who wants to start one ring above workers somehow
Most people's world view can't see past what they are familiar with. LLMs do a bad job at the things they are tasked with - so make them supervise and coordinate it? Unless it's in supervision and coordination tools, where it is bad once again?
Other than "haha, let them get replaced by LLMs", this post does not logically get very far. Marketing and CEOs who spend all of their time turning social networks into their own echo chambers, though, do replace those. No change there, just savings.
Zero idea what any of that means...
My point was "managers" aren't "the top" they're literally one level above the bottom
And anything they're tell the bottom ring to do, is because that's what they were told to say.
I seem to have overestimated people's work experience or critical thinking tho, loads of people seem to think of front line managers as "the boss".
