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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Meta Platforms. X Corp. tell me those aren't straight from a strangely prescient cyberpunk classic

There's also E Corp from Mr. Robot.

And the characters called it evil corp anyways so it might as well have been the name.

Not exactly, most of the characters seem to call the company E Corp but the main character (who's also the narrator) "corrects it" in his head.
