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

MODERATORS
In all my dealings with government entities, they were fucking clueless. Even the trained ones. Look over and all their PCs run Windows 95. Government websites look like they were coded by Homer Simpson.
But somehow, they got all this awesome, secret tech? I don’t buy it. Their power is in their numbers and endless budgets with very little recourse for fucking up. Not from being smart or even competent at their jobs.
Most government entities seem to work this way. This doesn't mean that a division that actually has its shit together doesn't exist.
Yup don't see it. That's like saying you built an epic castle out of shit. I don't see how if all your pieces are lames, you're gonna put together some all-star team. Government positions are for the lazy. And AI is coming right from the top.
But I bet that's what they want you to think.
