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.

Dunno, "the cloud" is still a thing. It's basically normal operation to use cloud servers from Amazon or Microsoft or whatever. Everyone is using Google's Cloud to store their private photos and emails and appointments and contacts.
And with Google's integration of AI into search and phones, Microsoft's integration of AI into Windows and just the sheer volume of porn you can produce, AI is also here to stay, whether we like it or not. Not to mention the legitimate uses in science.
And it's not like AI is getting any worse. We can do stuff with it that was simply unthinkable merely ten years ago. Give it another ten years and it will be almost perfect.
