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.

Students upload what they have written themselves, complete with grammar and spelling mistakes, and then let AI write their other work like that. So I'm sorry. No proof anymore.
I participate in class and speak with the same voice that I write in. I feel like the chance of my prof suspecting me of using AI is really low because of this. For other classes that this doesn't work, I wrote an OBS plugin to capture a timelapse of my screen while I work. Any proctored stuff I do in person.
Any issues, I'm prepared to take it to supreme court metaphorically speaking. The burden of proof is on the accuser. I have the ability to be extremely persuasive when I care deeply so they will either see things my way or regret it.
Fuck AI and fuck any professor using the shadow of AI to keep me away from the education the university is charging me for. I'm willing to work together on these things but if you accuse me of cheating when I'm not, you will LOSE!
