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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I can't wait to see at what the rate per kwH unlimited fusion power is going to be sold to us.

Just like solar power, the "fuel" is unlimited, but the hardware is not free.

Don't get me wrong, undue profits WILL be made, but at the same time it's not really free either. Gotta pay for parts/equipment and the people maintaining the reactor and infrastructure.
