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
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

If an interviewer asks you what your five year plan is, tell them that you are intent on developing heavy industry by setting ambitious production targets and collectivizing agriculture. Scoff when they raise concerns about consumer goods and badly aligned economic incentives. Assure them that extractivism isn't a failed economic system at all. Your five year plan will win the space race.
Tell them that. Enjoy watching the blood drain from their face. Send them to the gulag if they don't hire you.
My glib response is always "doing your job" and then giving a real answer after.
If I had a nickel for every time I'd done exactly this in a job interview...
You'd be able to afford enough pick'n'mix for a swell time, hmu
