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: 1
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
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
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.

The value of everything changes. Time is not static. What maybe useless today may be of great value tomorrow and that value has to be tracked.
A system without money is just a system where the actual currency isn't obvious.
Who said anything about no money?
I think the problem is in the "measuring someone's worth using an arbitrary number", and not the money itself.
It's that human worth shouldn't be attached to a random hierarchical tool, whose main function is to distribute violence.
I agreed until you said that money was made to cause violence.
I didn't say literally any of that though.
I said its main function is to distribute violence.
Money mainly exists as a way to decide to whom you will deny service.
The more money you can give, the less people will deny you what you need, and the opposite is true.
