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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Some people require too much time for even simple tasks.Its not because they are lazy, but they just enjoy it like masturbation. The more time taken to finish, the more pleasure.

Capitalism just borrowed the whole "lazy" sham from previous systems of control. "Sloth" was one of the seven deadly sins over a millenium before capitalism became anything like it is in modern times. And the church for sure used it as a weapon to shame serfs into working themselves to death for the benefit of their particular lord.

I suppose you could say capitalism was too lazy to come up with something more original.

Also, I don't know why you're getting downvotes.
