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: 1

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
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
Posts must be original/unique

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 all this AI bullshit might finally push people to touch grass and interact face to face some more (programming.dev)

Given how harder it's becoming to tell apart AI slop from something made by a human (videos, photos, text), and how much scammers and other criminals are piling up on the tech, I'm thinking this will be the silver lining, making some people pay more attention to real life and finally accept the maxim "Don't believe everything you see on the internet"

I have no issue filtering. Everyone I watch regularly has a minimum of a masters degree in their respective edutainment field. I don't watch anything packaged by the big 6 or any algorithm. And I run my own dialed AI stuff for many tasks I personally find useful.

AI is not the problem friend. The problem is cultural. Tools are not the problems. The people that use them are.

The world will continue to specialize. As it does, the range of available content will grow as will the difficulty in finding your niche. Most places cater to the lowest common denominator. Perhaps you've found yourself some places where it is time to move on or devolve along with them.
