An alien abduction, but they just want to adopt a human pet and you get food and water and shelter and have no expectations except for to lounge around and get massages (pats).
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.
Alien adoption
Occasional visit to a sanitized room where the shove a thermometer up your rear.
And then they give you shots and treat you if you're sick, and you pay Nothing?!
If you're a gentleman, two nothings.
It's all fun and games until someone gets neutered
Nobody is better off with any overlord, that's why we've spent so much effort trying to invent satisfying and effective governance.
While this isn't so serious and is genuinely a shower thought, this is the lazy "I am deluded that different = maybe better" thought process that actively ruins the world, so please put more effort into wanting the world to be something else or focus on something you can.
Being deluded that different is maybe better is literally how humanity has made all progress. You seem upset with the word "overlord." It's a little ridiculous but somewhat understandable given its connotations. Thankfully when our benevolent alien patrons take over, it'll be a non-issue.
I would prefer Satan at this point. At least he'd deliver executive orders by beaming the evil thoughts directly into your head. It'd be so much better than having to visit twitter or truth social.
Least Satan's pro LGBT
At this point I'd settle for any overlord that has a realistic plan.
Concepts of a realistic plan
No joke I think this is genuinely why conspiracy theories are so appealing
