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 could go that way, but on the other hand they could be more like MorningLightMountain in Peter Hamilton's Pandora's Star, i.e. fascists who exterminate every other organism that competes with them for resources.
Great book if you haven't read it!
Yeah the book has an amazing depiction of a truly alien mind that is fundamentally different because of how it functions.
