I wish humans could get firmware upgrades
(lemmy.world)
funny idea but this is where transhumanism starts
I'd be Windows. Constantly rebooting every five minutes
BSOD
McConnell?
That was just an inconvenient update that happened at the wrong time. Like when your laptop decides to update during a critical PowerPoint presentation at a business meeting.
You likely do it daily already.
we only get firmware corruption as we age
You actually have to work on yourself to get those upgrades. Takes a bit of effort but can be done.
Sadly they don't teach people anything about how to handle their emotions in school, so people never even attempt to get some skills in that area.
If you don't know how to master your emotions, you will never become a jedi.
No, you actually say you want to solve your problems without any work from your part, sorry no can do.
Even for a firmware update somebody has to code and work in the background, only the update process itself it's simpler (if you don't consider the work involved in creating the update mechanism and infrastructure itself).
essentially that is what mythology has been for humanity. Too bad now we just let advertising borrow the techniques without education the population how it works.
In a way parenting is our brains change a lot for that

Showerthoughts

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
