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.

Book or movie? I do not remember the movie being fucked up at all.

Skimmed the summary on Wikipedia. Most of that, I remember. I don't remember

spoilerthe robot marrying Little Miss's granddaughter.

That is kinda weird.

But by all accounts Little Miss did love the robot. It was her sister who didn't like him.

Also, Little Miss was the Pepsi girl, if you're old enough to remember her.

The movie I did not read the book. It is not played out that way in the movie. But watching it today's time makes you realize how mess up it is.

isn't there a subreddit about people in live with LLMs? they call them wireborns.

Why? Why did they feel the need to give them some shitty fantasy/RPG game name?

I hate people.

that's just language. they gathered around something they liked and there are no terms to describe it, so they made one.

not defending them, just pointing that it is how languages work.

Truly following the rich person archetype.
