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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Smoke signals would be better than the official app.

I know some pensioners in my neighbourhood that'd love to talk to you about that.

A message in a bottle is easier to use. Also, the maintenance cost is negligible, since the system is powered by renewable wave energy. The only downside is the lag, which can vary from a few days to several centuries.

Just not using the app is better than using the app.

I can't fathom how they bought a good app, put a dev "team" on it for 7 years, and still don't have half the features some neckbeards in their mom's basements without access to the backeng still managed to put into their apps.

What a pack of incompetent fucks.

Sounds like they lucked out into an awesome job with no real work required.
