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
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's funny. VR is AMAZING!!!!!!!!
I mean holy shit. Have you tried it? My first thought was "this is where software development is at, all else is weak". It's like LSD vs tapwater.
But it ain't convenient. I think that's the issue.
Until we have brainchips or video contacts or something.
Considering what STEMLords are like these days, I wouldn’t expect reasonable people to trust any of that brain implant shit ever. I will certainly be teaching my kids to say no to it.
I don’t know what kind of manipulation or mind control is even actually possible with current OR future tech, but to think it wouldn’t be used to the extent possible to exert control is via a brain implant is, at best, lacking “post-nut clarity” about the so-called Information Age.
