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:
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.
Welllll the 40 hr work week is based off our 24 hour days and some planets have much longer than 24 hours in their day. So realistically some planets could have 60 hr work weeks. Plus we have no idea the governmental structure and ideology of other worlds and if they even allow you to stop working at all/you're worked to death or if they have such an advanced society that you don't even really have to work much at all.
Basically, this is kinda dumb.
I have a 40 hour work week. And two more jobs than are ten hours work per week. And I need to do these, or I don't have health insurance and can't afford my rent.
It's a simulation. The nothingness of space is used as an isolation barrier to keep us feeling important. Just another guard rail to keep the experiment going.
Well given the low likelihood that any of them have intelligent life the fact that you're able to ask means the chances are probably 100%
Daaaaaaamn this is fire. Rhetorically.
What if all those other galaxies are just like us? Like totally different, but also exactly the same. How terrible would that be?!
Either it happens, or it doesn't. I'd say that's exactly 50/50.
I wish it was only 40 hours
Since when do we have a 40 hour work week? I don't know anyone who works only 40 hours
