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.

So fuckin hate the whole gen AI shit. Now actual proof can be dismissed as AI as well.
Before that people would just dismiss photos of atrocities as CGI or something...
The word you're looking for is "photoshop"
The original term I heard was "電腦製作" (literally as: Computer Generated)
Example: [X]係電腦製作嘅
The word you're looking for is "doctored"
That's actually the more dangerous/harmful side of it.
whenever I go to watch a funny video with. friend they always complain it looks like ai shit even when I know its from pre ai. just takes the fun out of funny videos.
Bob Saget spent years entertaining us with funny videos of people getting hit in the nuts only for AI to come along and ruin his legacy.
Do you think there are kids with fake girlfriends in their profile pics telling their friends "I swear she's real she's just not on social media and goes to another school"?
The dystopian loser lol.
