    The industrial revolution lasted almost 100 years, but we generally clump all of those advancements in one big group.

    In 2100, those 40 years won’t mean a thing.

      2100 noone will be around to ask the question more like it.

          Presumably Lord Nikon thinks there won’t be any humans left at that time.

            This is correct and I hope I am wrong

              There will be humans around, but there will probably be far fewer of them. We are excellent survivors.

      I’ll have to wait and see

      I’m young enough that I will probably still be around as we approach 2100.

      that seems like a bit different than ‘the same innovation’ implied by op

      it would be like conflating the invention of the ICE with space travel as ‘the same innovation’. id argue that would never happen, and neither would ‘the internet’ and ‘LLMs’

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:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

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.
