Showerthoughts

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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

I'm not aware of any game where you can buy literal cheat codes, though.

Closest that comes to mind is Assassins Creed Odyssey with the XP booster.

For 1,000 Helix Credits ($9.99), you can purchase a permanent XP booster that gives you 50% extra experience points for the remainder of the campaign.

I wouldn't classify that as a cheat.

Exactly, there are far better descriptive names to call that. But none suitable for use in polite company.

I see that as a business opportunity.

Base game: 70€
Infinite ammo: 10€
All guns: 15€
Immortality: 20€
No clipping: 5€

I think you're going to end up with a time traveling assasine hunting you down one day.

My goal is to have something relevant written into laws and treaties. For example, if a gaming company pulls off a stunt like that, you’re legally permitted to throw a molotov cocktail through their window.
