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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  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.

What do you think will be the first fast food franchise on Mars?

My guess is Subway. Don't need to cook anything and all of the ingredients already have enough preservatives to make the journey.

Subway will also sell franchises to anyone and everyone, regardless of how close another franchise is.

It makes a lot of money for corporate at the expense of fucking over the franchise owners.

So you're saying Subway will be both the first and second fast food restaurants on Mars?

only if you don't count the 25 Starbucks already setting up shop at the landing site

There will be 3, full size starbucks on the ship to Mars. A ship that has only 30 humans.
