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

MODERATORS
I could absolutely see a not-too-distant future where competitors of megacorps have their assets attacked by the government’s military.
This has already happened many times. It’s just that those “competitors” are usually referred to as “ordinary people.”
Sad upvote.
I was thinking more as a mundane mechanism to gain market share though, not necessarily punishment or collateral damage.
…but I guess it applies even then. Sigh.
