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.

Oh yes of course, it's the people's fault because they dismiss discussion of petrochemicals. Not the billion-dollar companies lobbying.
You can still at least pick clean energy sources for your electricity is the point I'm making. Most don't because it's more expensive.
Just like most people are using ChatGPT running on an H100 rather than Deepseek mini locally running on your local graphics card. You could of course also not use an LLM at all, but there's very few things they definitely excel at vs old standard search, such as trouble shooting a specific problem in Linux for example instead of dead end forums where if you're lucky you might see someone say "solved it" without an answer.
Of course, nuance isn't most people's strong suit here.
No, it's not. Renewables are far and away cheaper. But that doesn't change that calling it a problem on an individual level is falling for the exact propaganda corporations have been pushing since the Crying Indian commercial in 1971: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crying_Indian_public_service_announcement
