Mention the concept of a daily stand-up pledge of allegiance in schools in any other democracy and get laughed at.

I bet astronauts are great at showering.
have you ever had a shower in under two minutes and washed your whole body?
Yes. My first thought was whether there may be a “best practice” way of showering efficiently and which professions may have suggestions on that (either jobs that are very time-constrained or jobs that are tight on resources?) and whether there were more effective ways of catching the water than a bucket (maybe some elaborate tarp placement? probably not feasible. the ultimate tarp placement would be one just around the body like one of the shields in star trek or star wars. maybe one of those bubble soccer balls upside down filled with water and one showerer? rolling down a hill in a plastic hamster ball full of water would be fun. also terrifying and basically dynamic waterboarding, but fun) and that was when the two minutes ended.
Are you limited to either having a thought or moving your body at any given time? I hope you don’t drive cars or perform other activities that require more than zero thoughts at once.
“Well, you can’t prevent all assaults in the world, so why shouldn’t I punch you in the face now?” is a rather defeatist point of view.
Won’t SOMEBODY think of the poor, poor monopolists who so far made their money exploiting the alternativeless victims at their mercy? Why would their prey give them way too much money now, eh? Socialism! Terrorism! All the bad words, what’s in right now? Woke? DEI?
Google: “You wanted words? Here are some words!”
Oh, they’d never do anything as sinister as that. That may still be illegal (if the ultra-rich lobbying hasn’t taken care of that obstacle by that point).
Instead, they’ll just make sure that whatever essential core service they’ve built a monopoly in by just muscling the poorer competitors out of the race will cease to be offered to you if you refuse to hand all your money over to them.
See also: insulin, hospital treatment, etc. This is just a new playing field to find old prey in.
Sure, the possibilities are endless, so the first thing we’ll get that has any research money and effort put into it is how to turn it into an advertising platform and then maximally enshittifying it as soon as there’s a market share to speak of.
It’s fiiiiine, I wouldn’t want a stupid brain chip that’s NOT on fire anyway. Looks much cooler and I bet that’s just how Daddy Elon planned it to be.
Have you considered upgrading to the Ultra Premium Deluxe Version? For just 99.99- a month, you can actually use what you bought!
Absolutely catastrophic mismanagement.
Hard disagree. When the vultures gut and eat the racehorse they just bought, they’re perfectly happy with the outcome.
May update. May not update. Who’s to say?
How make proper fire with stone?
Right, it’s for
“the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. […] thoughts that many people can relate to and […] find something funny or interesting in regular stuff”.
Just to sum up: after telling me that this shower thought is not a shower thought, you say that the shower thoughts community is not the place for shower thoughts.
…
Did you forget where you are posting? Or do you maybe have a very … unique … definition of what comprises
“the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. […] thoughts that many people can relate to and […] find something funny or interesting in regular stuff”
as per the sidebar?
Knocking on wood that we don’t nuke, fry or pollute ourselves out of the race until then.
It literally was though.
I’m not berating, I’m helping clear up some confusion about the conditionals.
