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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

ha, none of that will exist in your lifetime. i think youll be ok. is it that hard to just ignore the stuff youre not interested in?
Good luck ignoring social media nowadays. Whether you use them or not, you live in a society that does use them and you are impacted by its consequences.
And good luck trying to buy a new television that isn't "smart". Even cars are getting like that.
haahha ive been runnin BBs's since the early 90s, and currently running a fully federating fediverse implementation of mbin. im not scared of running social media stuff. doesnt mean i cant ignore garbage tech like any VR.
and i only buy retail displays that dont include an onboard OS. they cost more, but theyre always worth it.
cars? my 1980 toyota celica aint goin nowhere. i can rebuild the 20r in my sleep.
i hate some of the new tech, but im also not afraid to completely work around it. you do you though
