One of the best parts of Cyberpunk (as a theme) is the ubiquitisation of cultures

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.

C'mon.
What's the point?
Acting like an eight year old and taking words at their literal meaning?
You're subverting your own thread.
It was a joke...
Edit: sorry, hadn't had my coffee yet:))
To answer your initial comment, yeah, that's how I remember it as well (been a while for me, too). And we already have real life analogues for that, in Musk trying to colonise Mars and Bezos proudly launching giant blue dildos into space. In either case, they're both one step removed from eventually establishing a space station or some such - Musk because it's easier to deploy a colonisation effort without having to deal with exiting the atmosphere first, and Bezos because... well... he'd actually have to have a reason to keep launching giant blue dildos other than for he hell of it, which fair enough! Very Post-Modern!
Honestly, I'm surprised they aren't focusing on that. Makes sense to develop a reliable and sustainable means of getting to-and-from, but we kinda' already have something that's Good Enough™... In all fairness, I may be overestimating these guys, given their track record so far...
