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.

Same reason religions demand you tithe but refuse to pay taxes, even though they don’t deny Christ said, “render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s, and render unto God what is God’s,” which is to say, fulfil your obligations to the government before fulfilling your obligations to God.
That's a wild understanding but you do you
What part do you think is wild exactly? The rendering or the same reason bit?
That's not what that verse means. It means leave government stuff to government and God centered stuff to God. He was differentiating between God and the government.
jesus confirmed shitlib
they're typically sociopaths, narcissists, or both. other people hardly exist
It's not that good.
Much of a CEO's role is schmoozing with other rich assholes. AI can't do that. Maybe once it can buy hookers and blow.
One of the weird things about ceos, in USA at least, is that one of their roles is to be the fall guy for the board if things go badly. If they screw up badly enough, it's expected that they'll find it hard to be hired as CEO elsewhere, which they use to justify outsize compensation plans. I'm not sure AI would fulfill that role, nor the schmoozing aspects
AI can't roll around in a pool full of money.
Wait until they virtually roll in crypto.
because it's not about how well a job can be done, it's about running the fucking show.
They will
AI models are not stupid to mess with such powerful people. They are together
Oh. Their job is harder to replace than some paltry programmer, who just copies code from SO anyway.
Yes, their knowledge is locked behind the iron gates of ivy laden stone walls. Bestowed upon only for those whose Daddy's could afford to unlock it. Mere intelligence, artificial or otherwise, simply couldn't comprehend the 200x worker value they provide.
