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
There's actual experiments that have been done on this and every experiment has said that people don't quit their jobs they carry on doing their jobs and they just have a better standard of living than the otherwise would have had.
It'd be really great if you could actually look this stuff up before making comments
Actually Manitoba Canada did one of the biggest experiments and the best that came out of it was productivity fell less than expected. So no your statement does not support that.
More so this post suggest more people would do things like art which is absolutely suggesting productivity will fall.
And seriously are you telling me you wouldn't retire earlier if you were paid a significant amount over your lifetime? I can bs on people working just as hard if they didn't have to.
