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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

Maybe some alien civilization does know about us, but it slightly afraid since we spec'ed in the war tree instead of space travel.

They kept letting us advance our war machines until one day they needed us. To help stop a greater evil; since they went space exploration instead of guns

Lots of scifi takes that route since we are very good at killing things. A well known version is the Asgard asking for help in Stargate SG-1 since they need more primitive tactics they've long ago forgotten.
