I mean, money works like that too. It’s not like we value money because paper is rare, we just all collectively agreed to use it to make exchanges easier

Well you’re not wrong, but we used to have the gold standard, and that worked because of the rarity of gold.

Also most “paper money” isn’t actually paper, but cotton/plastic

Create post

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
