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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
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
- 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.
Could you use another bot to solve that bot's test?
We already have the reverse, where automated spam tools outsource to humans to beat the captchas: https://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/26/technology/26captcha.html
They would have to make a captcha that only a select group of bots can solve
It'll be bots all the way down...
Some fifteen year old nerd: "I got this"
You have 50 milliseconds..
Which of the following would you most prefer? A: a puppy, B: a pretty flower from your sweetie, or C: a large properly formatted data file?
Uh, is the puppy mechanical in any way?
No, it is the bad kind of puppy!

I have enough trouble finding all the bicycles in the photos, they wouldn’t need to change much
I've used captchas before, this already happens :(
please click all images with busses
Sees extremely distorted reflection of bus in a store window in one panel; has breakdown
That's pretty much what DRM does, keeping us out of the inner working of stuff
Which would you prefer:
- A large, properly formatted data file.
- A flower for your sweetie.
- A puppy.
Edit: didn't see that someone else had already beat me to it!
