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.

AI should be doing my job so I can spend time writing and making art …

Capitalism doesn’t work that way.

Nobody said how or if it worked at all.

It can do both of those jobs

The only thing I've ever used AI for was to make a quick funny picture that never existed before. I guess it has its place sometimes.

So not like using your own skills? Like you just typed something in and it calculated some art to save you the work?

Yeah exactly. I forgot the context, but something came up in conversation with my friend Sandy about how she was the terminator... Boom instant Sandybot 3000 for great laughs all around

My PfP is AI generated. It's great for that kinda shit.
