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 know they had been paying Getty or some stock image company initially for the AI out painting, but I'm not surprised they're now pulling they shenanigan.
They're not stealing since it's part of their terms. But it's also definitely not ethical. If anything that's a valuable lesson to read the ToS.
And more the reason to not use Photoshop.
I'm perfectly happy to call it theft. At that point it's not like piracy, you're stealing the essence of the work and shoving in your uncanny valley machine.
Wait, so you're okay with piracy?
Although, I definitely understand the distinction between piracy for an individual or household vs piracy for profit
I mean yeah, definitely? Corporations losing profit is much different to individual artists losing the ability to monetise their work.
