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.

It might be in the sense that the algorithm recognizes that it's a new bubble to dump money into for a quick return. But that's just what the stock market is nowadays. Corporations have cornered the rest of the markets through conglomeration or monopolistic exploitation, and have cut cost as much as possible. There's not really a lot of ways to keep line going up other than throwing it into a new bubble and hoping you can get out before it pops.
Investment companies are just running out of places to keep their investments, which is why basically all tech corporations are massively over valued.
that's where the Fed QE-hyper inflation fiasco comes into play.
the lines will always go up cause inflation amd devalueing the $ forces them up.
until people who actually want to spend $ hunt down that liquidity it will stay locked down on someones imaginary goldpile
Can't do that..... That would ruin everything. Just take out a loan against your imaginary goldpile.
