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
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 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-----

How do you manage such a thing though?
Through a powerful authority which totally won't quickly turn into a dystopian dictatorship.
Have an upvote. Serious question (asking nicely), how does that differ from capitalism?
Capitalism doesn't really do the "to each according to his needs" part, for one
Capitalism has a driving goal of making costs of doing business zero especially labor.
Capitalism must be told that treating human beings like chattel slavery is wrong.
Not all users are subscribed to all communities. How is that surprising?
