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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's not the kids, not the lurkers, not the mods... y'all just nice people. Lemmy's got a good vibe going... or at least enough windows that we can close if the vibe gets shit.

I read Haiku has no future recently and I think a similar thing is happening here.

Do we want to "have a future" or do we just want to be a cool place doing cool shit for ourselves?

Yeah "having a future" is always under the lens of "marketable/corporate profits" anyway. Some people don't understand that sometimes, humans just want to build nice things because they want to!
