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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Why? Samsung/verizon/att/etc are not preinstalling the facebook or tiktok malware because they actually think "people will appreciate this", but because they're getting paid for it.
It's impossible that reddit will pay the hundreds of millions of dollars required to do this, they shut down the API as it was "unsustainable" while costing them just 10 million dolllars (and imho much less than that)
