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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

You say that like it's a bad thing. We could use more people who can afford to make art in the world, even if a lot of it would be shitty art.

Do we really need them more than doctors, plumbers, teachers, etc. though? While I'm for a UBI, I'm against it being enough to fully live off of for exactly this reason. The world doesn't need a bunch more popsicle stick art.

Speak for yourself. I think the world would be a much better place with more popsicle stick art.

Eeh deviant art had that perspective and then got flooded with mspaint fetish porn and became unusable.

Art station on the other hand always blows me away every time I visit the front page. So there's a limit.
