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:
- 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.

The sole purpose of all tools ever created is to lower the value of human skills.
LLM's are hyped but have some value as a tool.
Only tool I see is you. Ai apologist get blocked.
Stop living in a dumbass fucking filter bubble.
Blocking is for people who are abusive, not people who coherently express a point slightly different then the one you made.
And they are literally unquestionably and objectively right. Literally every single tool ever created was made to reduce the amount of labour it takes to do a task, which reduces the value of human labour. It's called automation. Read Karl Marx if you think you're such a leftist, he'll explain it you.
I don't understand the wild eyed hate for a spell checker on steroids. LLMs predict the next word like the phone keyboard you use every day.
Hate the hype, not the tool.
I'd rather be a decent and respectful ai apologist and tool than a shade-thrower. I implore you to research Ghandi friend
Bahahahahahahaha
And I rather people think for themselves and treat Ai scammers and corporate grifters like the POS that they are.
You are an obnoxious individual.
Go find some corporation to fellate.
Please do me next. I hate it when people reply to me with dumb shit like that, missing the entire point, as I've seen with your other comments.
