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.

I'm just saying, if half the people who constantly complain about AI didn't participate in consumerism in general and plastics, it would even make a tiny additional dent to climate change.
The amount of anti-AI on here doesn't seem proportional to the amount of people being anti-consumer or doing hobbies that use just as much energy or more than generating a few images locally such as playing a game on high settings with a having PC also using a graphics cards, usually for hours.
But also, it's a bit annoying to see posts hating on AI where no AI is involved - I'm wondering what percentage of Lemmy doesn't know by now nearly everyone here is against it. It's like if people here started explaining what Linux is.
AI seems to have dissolved your brain. You are not making any sense, even though you seem to think you are.
A lot of criticism of my points here were valid, and some of my information (especially my math) was wrong, as pointed out by people more knowledgeable than me.
But in this case - not understanding this comment in particular - it's just you having poor reading comprehension.
There's valid reasons to be against LLMs especially, but hiding your incompetency behind blaming them isn't one of them.
