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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

If humanity suddenly vanished and all that would be left of our existence is all the videos ever filmed. How much of that would be porn? What would other civilizations think of us? Fucking perverts, aren't we?

Another point that I didn't see mentioned: some can make a lot of money, or just easier money, compared to getting a real 9-5 type job.

everyone sells their bodies/time, some just know what their time is worth better than others

Better question would be why do we make so many people.

Actually, recent trends have shown a dramatic decrease in birth. This is why in the last 10 years republicans are trying to break roe v wade. They want more future workers to exploit.

What would other civilizations think of us?

Well, you can't know about that. Maybe there's a sex planet full of slutty aliens out there.

Humans are intelligent and sexual animals. It makes sense that sex would be commoditified in some fashion.

There's nothing wrong with enjoying sex, and by extension sexually themed things like porn. Just as long as it doesn't become an addiction.

An aside: I wonder how much the global population-increase will lower once we get tech like holodecks.

What I want to know more about is how do we produce do much porn? How have we not run out of women willing to do it yet?
