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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Huh, and I worry about forgetting the great memories of the games I played. The duality of man
Eternal sunshine of a spotless mind
Haven't read the book it's based on but i really enjoyed the movie
Reminder that chips heat up
But the company would also erase lots of other stuff from your mind they don’t agree with. Yikes.
I can see this going absolutely side ways when your mind tries to cope with where 1000+ hours of your life went. Also you'd probably get 1000+ hours of ads beamed into your brain to make up for that gap of time, unless you pay for the "Memory+" or "Memory Max" tier, with just slightly less ads. Would be cool to experience a game for the first time again, but I would just read a book or share gaming "war stories" with my imaginary buddies.
Other harmful side-effects aside, how much a game impacted you is significantly affected by the context of your life. Experiencing the same game at a different time in your life might not be as meaningful.
You're absolutely right about that.
If this ever happens, your brain will constantly be raped by Trump, Musk, Zuck, Altman, and all the North Korean hackers. Enjoy.
But what if I install Linux on the chip? 🤔
Have you played prey? Removing the chip takes out memories but putting it in gives abilities.
Just give it time. After long enough, each game becomes new again!
This is the only right answer.
um no. im not sure chip in head will be a thing I would be willing to do where it gets to in my lifetime but if there was a replace game memories with like skill training maybe.
What could go wrong? Well just watch Black mirror
You could be more efficient and implement the memory of having watched it.

A futuristic brain implant sounds cool until you think about all the downsides
A futuristic brain implant won't allow you to think of the downsides, so don't worry about that.
I too will let a company put hardware running rented software into my brain. They say you can't take away my pride, but pride is a emotion on sale for 19.99.
Classic blue pill. Hello cypher.
I just want to be in a post capitalism society with incredible AI that I could ask to continue a game I'd played before with a twist.
Give me pokemon red in 3d, but make more puzzles and more pokemon and the npcs more interactive. That kinda thing
gamer: "worst game ever"
gamer: "i just wanna claw my eyes out"
gamer: "man, that game was so bad, i wish i could forget it."
announcer: Well you can now! For only $99.99* you can forget those games you'd really rather not remember
gamers (in unison, on triple-split screen): worth it!!!
*(per game, plus $15 a month per game--forever)
Why not just buy a new game? There are so many out there.
There's many games out there, but only one Outer Wilds.
Sometimes games cause such a strong emotional reaction for me that I genuinely cannot recreate the same feeling. Same with books and movies. I end up feeling nostalgic for when I first discovered it.
Sure a new game might be really good and immersive in a similar way, but it'll never be the same, y'know?
I'm broke
But you have money for this chip?
Nah, maybe I'll present myself as a test subject so that it's ME who gets paid for fucking my brain.
You probably already did this and they took all your money and then wiped your memory of doing it and of having money and that's why you're broke in the first place
Maybe, or maybe I'm just a latin american living the latin american ✨experience✨
Just make sure you get the sound and vision subscriptions or your screwed.
Please upgrade to Monthly Premium for just $19.99 a month to disable the agonizing neurological pain.
Or our deluxe plan to turn off constant ads for just 39.99.. otherwise we'd like to speak to you about your cars extended warranty.
Who dropped all this monkey paw in the shower?
Nobody is installing anything in my brain, no matter the supposed benefits.
Thank you everyone for buying our chip. We have now changed everyone to ad tier subscription.
Thank you for understanding.
Wish granted. It's a neuralink and has like 30 back doors. Your memories have all been replaced by caramelldansen and your visual cortex has been ransomwared.
