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

  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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  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.

No. Captcha is used to train AI and other recognition algorithms. We would be training them to think that to be human is to be inappropriate and offensive.

Then the new captcha should be "write a short erotica".

Realistically, given that erotica has a fairly narrow and repetitive subject matter and that most humans are not experienced writers, I kinda imagine that it wouldn't be too difficult to make an AI write it better than the average human, just would be a matter of allowing it to write such things.

I'd bet a dollar that porn is the most popular genre in writer AIs like AI Dungeon and AI Novelist.

NovelAI doesn't censor itself. Do with that as you will.

[–] Chefdano3@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Absolutely. This.

Agreed, we don’t want them to be aware of it.
