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.

Looking at traffic analytics pretty much all our developer staff use chatgpt for 3+ hours a day. I'm not a big fan of using llm for my own development work. I'm proficient in they languages I write in so I don't need it as much.

I feel like using llm can get you a quick fix but for programming a lot of the results are nonsense. It's really really well formatted but nonsense still the same. Maybe I can't use it right. Or I'm asking the wrong questions.

I find it hilarious how when you call it out for being BS it responds with "yes of course, you are right!..." then gives a possibly working or nonsense answer, who knows.
