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

That'd be kind of sad.
If Microsoft went belly up today, the retro community and linux community would have a field day.
Oracle or someone worse would buy them. That's how capitalism works.
If Oracle went belly up the world would unite in peace and harmony.
99% of the world has no idea who that is.
What are you talking about? Java runs on millions of devices!
Pff, millions? How about 3 billions!
Most people dont even know what an OS is, nevermind java. (Insert relevant xkcd here).
Really goes a long way to show how impactful their ceaseistance will be, eh?
