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.

Not gonna lie. When I need a wank, I need a wank.

But “professional” porn (like pornhub largely hosts) always felt gross to me.

Porn is like driving a car. You start learning on the backroads and in the parking lots but once youre on the highway, you better be ready.

I'm slightly concerned about what the future holds in regards to AI porn, especially for me and other people like me with a higher-than-average draw towards porn.

I've been playing around with generating softcore pictures with AI and then turning those into video, and while it's far from perfect, it's pretty fucking good already, and it's only going to get better. Some of the stuff it generates you literally can't tell apart from a real picture/video, and it lets me specify my exact niche kinks and preferences and then spits out an endless feed of just that. In the past I've had to sift through piles of crap only to find a few gems, but not with AI - it serves me exactly what I ask for, and I never run out of new content.

What's also noteworthy is that while we're speaking of porn now, this will however apply to all media. Music, movies, TV series, games, or just YouTube- or TikTok-like video feeds. An endless stream of content perfectly tailored to your exact tastes, and every next piece of content just going to be better than the last one.

We're going to be entertained to death.

"Going"

The anon says with his reality TV government ordering military to invade cities.

I bet it'll be great for people who are willing to sacrifice their personal data and the environment.

Because I mean, it'll learn your tastes and create hyper-personalized videos for exactly your tastes.
But theyll also have a hyper-specific record of the kinds of things you like. How many people gonna give it access to all their chat histories and shit. God can you imagine the potential for leaks (pun intended)?

I mean, that's already a thing? Check out sankakucomplex.com, it's basically what you described. It's also slow as shit and the quality of its free tier is questionable, but it works and that's enough for a lot of people.

Well

I guess I'm gonna be that guy at Thanksgiving

Edit: I have no idea what that is, but it doesn't do what I was thinking
