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.

We all migrate to smaller websites try not to post outside drawing attention just to hide from the "Ai" crawlers. The internet seems dead except for the few pockets we each know existed away from the clankers

Do you think there will be safe places on the internet?

If it's connected, it's accessible. Won't matter what human level security we put in place when the datacenters these clankers run on have enough GPUs to brute force their way through.

Offline communication will make a resurgence, and will become indespensible when the resource wars the billionaires are funding reach the rest of the world.

If i had to guess, maybe everything would become invite-only

You know, maybe that's not so bad, there would be real world links between users rather than the random collection of absolute strangers you get now. Oh wait no that's just facebook again

If the person who got invited by the person you invited gets banned, your whole family dies. It's the only way to keep people honest.
