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.

maybe it's obvious, but i just asked a friend who is on thr ace spectrum and doesn't have experience watching porn asked me and i genuinely couldn't recall. do people watch porn in languages they don't understand? (i'm aware subtitles are also a tool for accessibility, not only translation)

I think xhamster or one of those pages, they have AI subtitles I believe. They automatically pick up the language and give you English subtitles by default.

Edit: to clarify, I don't usually pay attention to the dialogue unless its unscripted amateur stuff. Two porn actors reading the corniest lines possible? Fuck no. A random-ass couple being perverted and uploading themselves online cause they're pervs, and you can hear their perv talks? Fuck yes, sign me the fuck up, let's all be pervs together, the way Lenin intended.

Why would you want subtitles? The dialouge is only...

"Oh my fucking god!" "Fuck my ass!" "You want to cum in mommy's pussy?""Don't cum in me. I dont want to get pregnant." and"but you're my step sister!"

I always had the impression that porn sites had a different purpose other than reading. But probably that's just me. /s

Real talk: Some porn has (ai) subtitles, some doesn't.

Even before auto generated subtitles, porn subtitles existed. It's quite uncommon, however. I remember a "vintage" gay porn about two guys in a barn which had subtitles.
