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.

I can imagine the "will you be using the mobile app?" question to get cheaper food is going to devolve into the Mark of the Beast and someday no one will be able to buy anything without using the apps (lemmy.world)

That is the plan. Imagine an app that can provide personalized pricing to extract just less than the amount that would cause you to go elsewhere?

It knows when you get paid and can splurge. It knows when you are drunk or high and have less self control. It's the digital pricing tags at the grocery store, but personalized to you (and not with your best interests in mind).
