That's gonna be my version of old people saying "I don't do computers" now. There's no goddamn way I'm putting a chip in my brain.
Showerthoughts
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.
If such a technology existed, the government and shady companies would do all sorts of awful things with it.
- FBI makes political opponent sign a contract to never ever eat cereals anymore.
- FBI uses chip to erase political opponent's memory of signing the contract.
- Next morning, political opponent chomp chomps.
- Afternoon, straight to jail!
Terrifying.
That is very Eternal Sunshine of you...
That movie would have been a lot less interesting, I feel.
Haha, probably. Unless you are this guy: https://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2015/12/27/man-sues-bethesda-because-fallout-4-is-too-addictive/
Wish granted, the chip erases your memories of games you've played every single time you sleep, along with all your other memories.
Understood, but there are other memories I'd much rather erase, not necessarily with the intent of reliving them for the first time.
