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

All posts must be showerthoughts
The entire showerthought must be in the title
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.
Posts must be original/unique

We're big on subscription services now, can't sell subscriptions if the world is going to end.

You don't have to when you have the data for the end of the species, we know the rock we are on will still be here just we won't.

We've realized it's not going to be a sudden apocalypse, but a slow one

Weren't there some people worried about the end of the world with the most recent solar eclipse?

[–] [email protected] 42 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Sounds reasonable. If the sun gets stuck behind the moon there we'd be toast because we need light to see stuff and where we're driving.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (2 children)

We might need light for a few other things, too. :)

Like finding the car keys in the first place!

You're right. How are we gonna ever beat Boktai without the sun?
