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.

Over the last century surveillance and control has slowly crept into out lives. Never before has the government had so much power

Reddit is used to train AI... Twitch is used to train AI... Facebook is used to train AI... It just occured to me the easiest and best way to stick it to these people... get off the computer and have real life interactions. These people are busy building AI that can take over our digital lives.. so take that back and make it a life they can't take over...

I know easier said then done, it also depends on others, its expensive out there... I just woke up with a little bigger smile today realizing I could do something thats as easy as leaving reddit and could stick it to them.. even if it just made a fraction of a difference.

See you tomorrow lol

Dumb advertisement near me had a sign up about their "sparkling pool" which got me thinking....what would it be like to swim in carbonation?

I think you would float better? Probably? Would it hurt more? Would all the released carbon dioxide in the vicinity of the pool be a problem?

If LLMs used very little RAM and processing power, was light weight even for Mythos or Sol, would people be as opposed? Like no data centers, no memory shortages, like it was able to run on a calculator with the same performance.

I believe if everyone who was against the current oligarchy started placing guillotine stickers everywhere, like you might for a favorite band, people would feel less isolated in their distaste for the current system.

And in an ideal world those who the guillotines are for might realize just how much they are in the minority.

Not that the vast majority would be without empathy, just that power would raise it from where it sits currently. Thought I should clarify that.

This is a toilet thought, please ban me mods.

Is capitalism greed the only thing saving us from mutually assured destruction?

"I should've just shoved his head through a windshield and roundhouse kicked 10 guys in one blow" wakes up from fantasy

Okay so this kind of navigation:

Home > Sports > Football > BVB

Is called "breadcrumbs", because, like with Hänsel & Gretel in the old Grimms' Fairy Tales strewing breadcrumbs on their way into the forest, to be able to find the way back, it can help you navigate your way back home.

But Hänsel & Gretel only found their way back, when they used white pebbles... the day they used breadcrumbs, birds ate the crumbs and so the siblings get lost in the woods until they find the witches cottage.

Breadcrumbs is how you DON'T successfully navigate your way back. Breadcrumbs is how you fall into the hands of some grubby old cannibal lady.

basically what the title says. when you're "loyal" to somebody, that means you'll take their side, even when they're wrong, and that's unfair towards the rest of the world.
