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.

Nah. There's more choice and thought put into a child's scrawling than any ai generated image.
I know logic isn't Lemmings' strong suit. But you can't set the bar for something as low as it can possibly be and then be elitist about it.
Well it's pretty simple, a child would understand it. I can explain it to you if you're having trouble.
Making art puts you in the art world. It's very easy to get what you need to make art. Arguing that someone isn't from the art world is pretty silly when you think about it. AI generated images aren't art. So they don't even help you get into the art world. Especially because it's very, very easy to get started making art, it's pretty silly to argue that AI is helping you.
I know that was a lot, so if you need to think about it, you can come back to me when you're really, really ready.
