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

I mean we’re kinda already living it.

  • climate spiraling out of control
  • resurgence of authoritarianism worldwide, including lots of Nazis and racial/religious supremacists (white supremacists, for sure, but for instance, Modi has done some fairly appalling shit in India with pushing Hindu supremacy over the last several years)
  • late stage capitalism
  • collapsing societal and social contracts
  • etc
