Showerthoughts

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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

........can I watch?
It won't even be good, either. It won't be some big-budget blockbuster; it'll be a movie by Dave, the guy in your survival group that just doesn't quite get it and still thinks there's anybody left alive to appreciate art. Also he plays all the characters.
Except instead of Dave, it's Adam Sandler.

It'll be a porno
AI will continue making movies after we're gone. Bots will give reviews and post their opinion in forums
Scarily plausible
You overestimate how long the power grid can work without human interaction.
I was just thinking this would make a good story. Solar panels begin to fail, the software is aware and experiences self preservation. Real Issac Asimov stuff
tHe pOweR gRiD.
You don't live in the same world. There will be at least a few bots powered by solar, running for decades more.
Do you have any examples of one of those bots?
Corporations don't tend to stablish autonomous solar systems to run their shit, they just connect to the power grid.
And people who make autonomous solar systems tend to do other type of bots, if they even make a bot.
Also ISPs don't run on solar autonomous system afaik, so even if some bots are running it's unlikely they will have internet access.
This is roughly the plot of NiER:Automata
Btw, I encourage anyone who likes entry-level philosophy and gaming to play it.
Dead internet theory for a dead world.
Morbius II: The Morbin'
Minecraft 2: This is The End
Starring Jack Black as Steve and Micheal Cera as Alex. Special guest star Seth Rogen as The Ender Dragon.
Damn, I thought we had another year or three... That's already in production
Have you SEEN the world we're in? This society is a dumpster fire!
And the book will have been better.
Since movies take lots of time to make and being "finished" is an arbitrary decision made by the director and/or producer, it would be nearly impossible to pinpoint one as the last.
Kind of like a musician's last song. Was it the last one they published, recorded, or wrote? What about the last song they half wrote or maybe recorded some partial demos?
Well, it's difficult to define movie. There will be the last big blockbuster production. But maybe there will still be a smaller production that counts as blockbuster for some people. There will be documentation of stuff probably, does that count as a movie when people film their last days? I don't think there will this one clear final movie, but yeah, it will (probably) end eventually.
Probably this or next century if global warming continues as it has.
Humanity doesn't have much time left
Ah, but some day the sapient squids who come after us will re-invent video recording and, assuming they tell each other stories, the industry will inevitably start up again.
And the reanimated corpses of lawyers will rise if that squid looks too much like Minnie Mouse.
The Land After Time
I don't think it will be an apocalypse movie, because nobody will want to watch it at that point.
Unless it's a documentary, of course. "This is why we will all die."
The Birth of a Nation II: The Rebirthing
As with everything that changes, there is no clean "cut off" where a last thing is made and then no more. Entertainment more than anything evolves and changes. There might be a last "traditional" movie made with a studio and sets and cameras, but by that time we will hardly notice, or our grandkids will hardly notice, as they have moved on to new more immersive or entertaining forms of escapism.
Thats assuming that there won't be an end to all creative output on this planet in the next million years.
Anything past 1000 years from now is beyond understanding, IMO.
I think the post-human-creativity epoch is further down the road, our species has this habit of doing the same things over and over, so even in a world of technological miracles and Gods in bottles, we will still have plenty of poor communities, purists, "normal" people doing things the way their parents did for generations, working alongside mechanical wonders and partially submerged in some kind of information landscape we can barely imagine.
If we do stay on this current course, we will eventually be easily outpaced by AI, likely much further away than the tech cultists and AI-bros want to believe but it is inevitable at this pace. I personally think it will be further away than a thousand years, our species is a very slow-turning boat. It's very possible that some segment of the population will in fact find some way to merge with machines in a way that lets them interact with larger systems and expand their consciousness in some way, which might be the only way we could ever say with even a little confidence that there is conscious, human creativity still in the universe, but like with the machine-born ideas and creations, they will be ideas and creations that will probably be outside of a normal human's capability to understand or even perceive.
Does any form of entertainment really die though? We still have stage plays and novels even though entertainment has evolved to films and television
I don't think so, there are plenty of hipsters dusting off old phonographs and vinyl records, hobbyists using old-fashioned cameras, modern musicians restoring old styles of instruments or tones.
When I was little I used to imagine the future was going to be either some kind of sleek Star Trek world of clean utopian skylines, OR it would be an apocalyptic wasteland with people remembering the Before Times as the sky is choked with ash and smoke.
The reality I have realized, is that the future is always just "more" of everything. We will have more poverty, more wealthy people, more diseases, more miracles, more hardships, more forms of entertainment, more wars and more peace. We will have more forms of entertainment and more ways to enjoy them.

It'll be the Skibidi Toilet Movie
I bet they will keep making movies after we're gone
"they" is rather ominous.
But will the movies live on as oral tradition? Ala Reign of Fire ?https://youtu.be/NCBA1wii70o
That movie shown me that I might have a post-apocalyptic job after all. All these years binge watching will have a purpose.
One thing's for sure: it will be part of Disney's IP.
It'll be another fucking Batman reboot. That's actually going to be the cause... Our tenuous grip on sanity will snap, rage will pour into the streets.
Think 28 days later, but the cause is one more fucking Batman reboot.
The last human to paint the last painting, to poop the last human poop. Just like civilization we're not frozen in biology either. Maybe we'll be replaced by one or more progeny species, maybe it'll be the end of the line for the great apes all together.
Optimistic today aren't we?
