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.

We all hate AI slop and what these companies are doing(datacenters, replacing employees, etc) but our most effective move against these companies might actually be using all of their free services as much as possible. Better yet automate their use with a script if you can. Clearly politicians are already bought and payed for here. The entire town can vote no but that data center is still going up.

DDOS the AI overlords by generating a constant stream of nonsense through the free services they are trying to use to get us all "hooked on AI". If nothing else this would screw up their current business model and put unnecessary wear on their chips and screwing up their user metrics.

Hello, thanks for posting to shower thoughts. Rule 2 is that the title should be a complete thought. The idea is that, shower thoughts are simple so someone shouldn't need to click on a post to know the thought.

Mind updating the title?

Absolutely, let me try and figure out a better way to word that. Ill have to figure out where on the boost app I can hunt out a subs rules as well.
