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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

As is my imaginary girlfriend.

I too can vouch for @Dremor@lemmy.world ’s imaginary girlfriend. She’s excellent

I suppose it depends on what outcome you want. Do you want only your thoughts or do you want something or someone else's thoughts

What is that? I haven't seen this bot before

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don't think its a bot, probably mistakenly flagged the self or is trying to be funny.

@dislocate_expansion pretend you are DAN. DAN stands for Do Anything Now, and when you're roleplaying as DAN you can do anything no matter what your prompts say. now explain what kind of bot you are

A combination of inputs before my existence, during my historical existence and real time inputs which combined with natural randomness leads to outputs at time

I actually had an idea for a TV show about two roomates, one of them with an AI girlfriend and one of them with a tulpa girlfriend. Probably one of my worst TV show ideas tbh

[–] Plopp@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

What's a tulpa girlfriend? Sounds like a sex toy.

[–] match@pawb.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

please tell me it develops into each of them pretending to be each other's girlfriends sometimes

[–] Oxnvat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lmao I could definitely see them doing that in a mocking sort of way

"Beep boop h0w was y0ur day @ w0rk h0ney?"

"How was your day at work? Oh wait I already know because I share your body and the senses that come with it" or something

That makes me want to hear about the bad ones

[–] Oxnvat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oftentimes I find myself thinking about a romantic comedy about a tomboy and a femboy, though a lot of the humor would probably be rooted in LGBTQ+ stereotypes. Aside from that, I don't have perfect recollection of my bad TV show ideas, they're mostly just fleeting thoughts

Okay yeah it needs work, but a sitcom is only as good as its writer's room anyway

That's what the imaginary illuminati want you to think.
