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: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Posting pictures of your face on clear net is stupid in 2025.
how is it different than walking around with your face uncovered in 2025
genitals are simultaneously visible. hope this helps.
fidelity of the data and certainty in identification of the subject
Care to elaborate? I'm not seeing whatever it is I'm meant to see that says it's meaningfully different.
you suggested that walking in the public street is the same as uploading photo into clear net...
i clarified that 1) quality of upload will be higher and 2) ID ability of current system is spotty
by uploading photos on faceberg you are training the current spotty systtem for ID into a better ID system.
TLDR. uploading high quality photos into social media under your name is not the same as walking down the street while having surveillance cameras take pictures of you.
I think they mean: how is you looking at my naked body and face MY problem?
What are the concrete risks that you are afraid of happening as a result of these technical differences? I understand that they are not LITERALLY the same thing. I don't see how the risk profile is significantly different.
Uploading an image of your face to the internet is a less specific action than uploading an image of your face to Facebook. But in the latter case (kind of moving the goal posts, but we can still discuss it), the horse is already out of the barn! You've already surrendered your actual social network, your interests, the most intimate things about yourself to Facebook, if only by your browsing habits. It seems dumb to worry about having images on Facebook, WHILE BEING AN ACTIVE USER OF FACEBOOK. Surely the latter is far worse.
I would advocate that no one use Facebook for anything. And not sweat it if their face appears on the Internet.
I believe their point is that surveillance systems that are used to identify people are being trained on social media images and they don't want those systems to be better. The point is not personal risk, but systemic/societal risk
correct. but there is also personal element... since the systems being sold would be trained your own pictures from socials.
versus person who does have as many pictures esp not under their own social media account, would be less likely to be correctly ID'ed by such system.
this is more of trust me bro, i am not an expert but i do know that denying the parasite date is always the right choice.
bottom line though, even if i opt out and all of you opt in, i still lose. herd has to reject the parasite as a whole for this tactic to be a real show stopper. most people are no there yet.
It's called GoneWild not Omegle to hide your face and flash your junk
