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.

Oh man, cloud to butt. I once installed that on a coworker's computer he had left unlocked. Took him months to catch on. Also, it apparently changed "cloud" to "butt" in posts and emails as well... oops.

That's on him for leaving the work computer unlocked. He was lucky the worst thing that happened is his emails got some butts in them. As opposed to being leaked and any private information in them used for nefarious purposes.

I did this to myself and it put butt on our website and my boss noticed it while giving a presentation to a client… whoops

You should try vibecoding it.

"Some magic beans"

That's an upgrade compared to most of the ai products

“the AI” -> “my magic 8 ball”

“AI powered” -> “RNG based”

“power of AI” -> “result of lots of coin flips”

"my 5-year-old"

Don’t know why “clanker” didn’t occur to me when writing the OP

I like this one. Mind if I borrow it?

[–] Mr_Fish@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Go ahead. Also feel free to add "automated incompetence" to the list as well

"The incredibly tiny deformed nonfunctional penis of Elon Musk"

It has the benefit of being accurate.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I use Deadname Eraser on my ipad to replace the names of certain famous people with swear words. Works well.

AI -> Al because Paul Simon said I could call him that.
