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
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) 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

Unlike in history, we don’t really lose information anymore.

We've developed an unfortunate habit of locking it behind paywalls, though.

Which evolves arm in arm with piracy, luckily.

I haven't watched ads or paid for content in like 15 years. Well, most of the time. I do frequent the movies and that at least is paying for content and there's no way to adblock the silver screen.

What do they mean I can't pay in qubluds?!? What else would I pay with?
