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.

Maybe don't use AI if you don't want it recorded?
Even if they don't tell you they are, they're all doing it
And even if you "opt out" they're still gonna do it.
It's just one of a shit ton of reasons not to use those fucking chatbots...
There have been so many cases of tech companies being caught lying about what data they collect/sell, the only way to be really sure is to never give them the data in the first place.
True, but this kind of psychopath level behavior is very telling. You’ll know exactly how much they respect you.
Well...
At least you finally found it out.
But most already know how capitalism works.
Clearly most don't or don't care...
Either way, the best a person can do is deny the parasite engagement and profit.
