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

There are unmet food needs in our world. Too much so. But I’m not sure I would say, overall, “food is very scarce.”
Yep, I would hazard a guess the amount of food waste alone could easily feed everybody but something something profits
It's entirely a logistic issue. African countries are insanely difficult to traverse. You can have all the food in the world but we don't have a way to move the food to everyone.
I've literally worked in logistics for 20+ years, you can send shit anyway, it just comes down to cost and profits
