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.

If someone can figure out what IA stands for, and the meaning that reflects, than we are one step closer to staving off the utter annihilation of our species from data centers hoovering up more and more electricity until climate change accelerates catastrophically.

To quote Zygmunt Bauman:

We are – most of us – free to enjoy our freedom, but unfree to avoid the consequences of that enjoyment. To tackle the consequences, we are bound to turn to the self-same market of commodified goods, services and ideas (thus also, presumably, of counsels and therapies), which is the major production plant of ambivalence and its zealous and resourceful supplier. The market keeps ambivalence alive, and ambivalence keeps the market alive. From this closed circle there is no obvious exit. But since the times of the Gordian knot every close circle breeds the temptation to cut and the demand for sharp knives...

Let's take an example.

We know that searching stuff on Google got worse, but imagine if AI replaced it completely. Searching the web would be something like making prompts to a chatbot, a complete black box of information. AI could make sure that you don't get conflicting views on state policies or acess to copyrighted materials...

Nowhere is safe.

I'm sure there must be some out there, but in the English speaking world I'd say it's the most unique name I've heard.

various assassinations, the brink of nuclear apocalypse, an unpopular political war away from home that caused a social movement, and political espionage.

It's like we're cursed.

I'm just imagining a room full of people coming up with dozens of random jingles using random letters that almost sound like English before shipping it off to marketing to sell as the "next big drug"

They're cheap now, but prices will inevitably increase. I wonder if we'll eventually see AI junkies selling their mom's laptop to purchase more time with their AI boo? Whales shelling out thousands to their OnlyBots?

This timeline sure is weird.
