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

I wonder if an argument from the elite against gender fluidity is that the future AI models to track us all via camera will find it harder to assign gender. (sh.itjust.works)

It’s ultimately control. If you have a choice you want to make and someone can put into law that you’re not allowed to make that choice, that puts them in a position of power. It makes you feel powerless, stressed, and small. People are less likely to fight if they feel this way.
