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

It starts making sense once you try to imagine a world without it. And I mean a functioning world - not a "would be nice" version of it.
I can definitely imagine a functioning world without it. But what you mean is a functioning capitalist world, which yeah, would be impossible without money. That doesn't mean we couldn't have a perfectly functioning post-scarcity world without money, it just wouldn't fit into your narrow idea of what the world should look like.
And that's not an insult to you, it's something most people suffer from. We've done things one way so long, the idea of doing it any other way is so alien to us, we reject it as impossible. But we've done things before that people thought were impossible.
