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.

Then pay the artists who the models stole the style from. You can't copy a style unless the artist agrees. Also, all artist's work used as a source must be credited.
... if I draw in another artist's style, using my human hands, do I owe them money?
Legally speaking, do I even owe them credit?
Yes, you do. It's fuzzy about how much you can do it and cross the line, but it's illegal. If you use my art to create someone's other art, then get permission and pay me. Just like in the movies, give credit where credit is due.
"Using your art" is not in any sense the same thing as "drawing in your style."
You can't keep equivocating between wholesale copy-pasting and... anything else.
And again: a character created yesterday can still be recreated with existing models. That art plainly was not used for the model - it did not exist, yet.
