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: 1

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
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
Posts must be original/unique

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.

The easiest way to defeat AI would be to take it literally. (self.showerthoughts)

When that AI shopping tool made to sell you couponed products pops up, abuse it. Ask questions about its products that any real human would answer in a normal way, that an AI simply cannot. This would get it through to them we don't really want or need this.

That's.... Not how this works.

The powers that be only look at a few charts, and a few data points on each.

The big one is sales over time, possibly broken down to gross vs net revenue (i.e. profit)

The next will be the amount that customers use AI. Could be a binary "interacted at all", measured in interactions, or by time.

The final MIGHT be % of interactions that led to a sale.

The ONLY way to fight AI (or anything else that corporations do that you object to) is to stop or reduce buying from places that use it.
