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.

Capchas don't work like that.
They way they work is they read everything about the movements that lead up to the choice, the actual choice has little to do with the analysis.
That's how websites use them to determine if you are a bot or not.
However, the companies that ever so nicely provide the captcha technology, and never ending supply of unique pictures... They don't do that just because they love paying for the bandwidth and hosting all of this stuff for free. They use your clicks to train their AIs in image identification.
It's actually both; they are using the data for ML: Captcha if you can: how you’ve been training AI for years without realising it
I’m going to be the handlebar of a motorcycle, but be in my own square.
I can almost not wait to be a motorcycle!
My crosswalk disguise is viable, it's just a question of time at the tattooists...
Your back won't understand your fronts hatred for you until it's time to lie naked on asphalt or concrete.
This assumes that Robots will have only the same 5 senses that humans do. Forgetting that they could also have things like lidar, xray, echolocation, sonar, etc. and the range of frequencies they could see/hear would probably be off the charts compared to our shitty ears.
Having said that, has anyone taken post office dropbox?
Or... Maybe we'll be conquered by rogue robots created by a very rich maniac with a fetish to only use cameras even thought everyone else is using radar, lidar and so on.
Finally, a real shower thought!
You can also try being a crosswalk, stairs, bicycle, or even a hill.
It's sad that it's best hope for the future has become robots turning on us
Its more that with the data a murderous ai can parse it and learn to identify humans hiding as common things that humans identify for ai. pretend to be something random like a leaf!
Robots walking through the streets of new York, shooting lasers at any traffic light or fire hydrant they suspect
