You just reinvented the Turing test, but you're right.

Heh, maybe, but a tad bit simplier than that. Initially I thought if these blockchainey proof-of-work technologies could be really applied somewhere. And making a person put together a situation in their head and laugh is not so far from making ASICs do these metal-melting calculations and signal back to get a crypto comission. Just a proof that the other side can put 2+2 together to get 4, but of a more humane nature.

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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

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
