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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Could you be any more wrong?

If you mean that these search engines use Bing, than this is true only for DDG. Mojeek is independent.

I'll give you an up vote as I want that to be a thing. "Let me Bing it for you"

In case you’re wondering about the downvotes, using any search index verbification other than “Google” demonstrates greater techno-activism than pointing out that DDG uses the Bing API. Your effort has been noted, however, and will be evaluated at the next summit.

The purposeful insinuation of a falsehood was enough to get people to admit that DDG is just Bing with a hat on while dogpiling on the assumed "mistake." I'll take it.

Mmm, understood. Antiheroics are especially well-regarded. I’ll be sure this is accurately reflected in the report.

Make sure to note I'm really tall so I get preferential treatment due to their unconscious biases
