ERROR: Earth.exe has crashed@lemmy.dbzer0.com to Showerthoughts@lemmy.worldEnglish · 2 months ago

If society goes completely cashless, bank robberies would no longer be a thing, which means there would no longer be "bank robbery" plots in future Movies/TV shows.

    Huh. No more cash tips. No $20 in a birthday card. Sorry homeless people, go die in a gutter (preferably in a back alley)!

    Lost your device? Too bad. Can’t lock that card or use woogle pay, good luck borrowing someone’s when they work all the time.

      The homeless have already graduated to qr codes in china. I’m pretty sure something similar will happen in the rest of the world.

        ITT: people who have never known homeless people that live* in food deserts with no fast food other than Lance crackers from the convenience store seven miles away, and one cell tower* serving two counties. I’m not being hyperbolic.

            It happens. Eta: where I live, people have to have a permanent physical and mailing address to receive services. A homeless guy asked me during a trip to town for$2 to get a piece of chicken from the had station recently. I didn’t have it and felt so so bad.

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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.
