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: 1

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

I am on the shitter instead of the shower. So, sorry if I babble crap. But imagine something like GitHub but for the purpose of restructuring society.

Politics favor the bold, the loud and mostly those who have the money to buy the first two.

Those are not the ones with the knowledge and empathy to, lets say for an example, build a new school (not just the building)

Teachers, architects, children, Gardeners, socialworkers, artists etc. Should be able to share their Knowledge and interweave it, while everybody can watch learn and copy.

Together they create a blueprint of the project. Now everybody can come and do the math on it. Or even prototype the school.

Important is the most questionnaire:

Is it the most oecologic solution

The most fair

The most accessible

The most qualitative

The most fun

You can put up existing laws and systems and watch the world tinker with it.

The hard thing is how do you officiate a project or law. But I think something like a monthly vote. you watch the short disclaimer people made aside their changes press yes no or idc.

Oh by the way I do not really know how GitHub works. Never used it.
