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

The music industry is rife with this.

Subjectively for the better or worse.

This isn't about content, but upcycling is a thing. You can have somewhat fashionable and stylish products made from what would otherwise be waste.

That's universal entropy for you. Everything will always decays downward, even social constructs and media.
