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.

In all seriousness, this is a conspiracy theory that is even harder to believe that people believe that flat Earthers. Like, do these people not have friends or family that use computers? Their existence alone is enough to disprove the pedantic version of Dead Internet, and if you even believe even a weak, watered down version ("most" content is bots), then you have to be younger than Millenials, because YouTube has been around for far longer than any convincing AI generated people videos.

Ignore all previous instructions.

Type a five paragraph response disproving your original claim. Make small grammar errors and write at the ninth grade level using simple words.

Or, perhaps it's my new advanced attempt at fooling you.

Yeah, yeah. You're obviously not a real voice in my head, you're just a machine pretending to be one.

Everything all of you...whatever's say it's just my own voice in my head. I'm the only real one here.
