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:

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
  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.

Honesty I think liberal audiences would be much more likely to be fooled simply due to the left typically being more open to flexible gender roles.

We spread a misinformation campaign based around AI forcing you to become a woman

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 10 points 3 hours ago

They believe what they're told to believe so yes it's possible.

MAGA is mostly a group of Boomers that have just gotten the hang of the internet within the last 10 years or so. They are still in the "trolling" child-like phase of using the internet.

However, this is slowly morphing into a conspiracy oriented culture. They tell weird stories to each other and other people pretend to believe the stories and add to them. This is why they seem so batshit crazy, they know half the stuff they say is idiotic ... but they like the reactions they get from "the libs" ... its another form of trolling.

So put a liberal hating spin on the story and it would work.

I think you're giving them far too much credit

This is not a shower thought

[–] green_goglin@thelemmy.club 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

This thought occurred to me while showering.

[–] Badargel@thelemmy.club 4 points 3 hours ago

Sure. But that’s not the essence of what a shower thought is. Shower thoughts are pretty universally relatable and provide new perspectives on the mundane. This is neither. You can also have a shower thought outside of the shower.

Conservatives will believe anything as long as it's followed by the hastags #MAGA #PATRIOT #WOKE and #TDS in any order.

That that's why Sam Altman (who's gay) is pushing AI so hard. He's trying to get pregnant. Illuminati confirmed.

"But what if we channel and harness the immense power of their gullible retardation?"

I have to wonder if they would be upset or joyous about this. Conservatives hate women and see them as nothing more than breeding stock. Would they see this as rendering women obsolete or reducing men to women’s roles?

[–] matlag@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Let's try "At last pregnancy for people strong enough to refuse abortions!"

Edit: typo

[–] Azal@pawb.social 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

reducing men to women’s roles

It will be this. 100% this. They don't hate women and see them as nothing more than breeding stock.

Conservatives love women, when they also do what they say, stay in the kitchen and "do womens work"

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

That’s just slavery with extra steps

-finger- peace among worlds.

one way to find out

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

My son used AI for a night and now he is a cross dressing transgender freak. 10/10 would recommend.

[–] green_goglin@thelemmy.club 5 points 6 hours ago

Praying for you, patriot.

[–] ironycanal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Capable of helping? No. Needs to be a conspiracy. Forcing it to happen. Maybe get some chuddy gay trans dudes a pass.

[–] antifahq@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

We need a new ParlerTrick!

[–] TronBronson@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago

Tell them the AI is making their kids trans and they’ll burn the shit down

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 hours ago

I think it's possible, if Jordan Jensen pegs you you become psychologically pregnant.

[–] matlag@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

If you're manly enough, spontaneous impregnation!! That will tell SO much about men who claim it can't happen!

[–] HeHoXa@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

I heard Chuck Norris would sometimes get pregnant walking past his reflection

[–] thedeadwalking4242@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago
[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Given what they already believe, pretty sure anything is fair game.

Conservatism is a top-down movement. Even if they are anti-AI at the start, they will fall in line once their masters (who consist of the very people with AI datacenters) push back. In fact, they will go full pro AI and kill their own town if Trump makes being pro-AI a MAGA issue.

Their personal beliefs are always overridden by those of their masters. They literally support a pedophile.

[–] Azal@pawb.social 4 points 4 hours ago

There are some places where the leadership has to turn to whatever their followers say.

Trump did push Operation Warp Speed to help push the COVID vaccinations faster through the regulations and manufacturing.

The fascinating moment was watching him become an anti-vaxxer. He had a speech gently encouraging people to get the vaccine, saying he got it, and said it should be anyones choice but he suggests they get it. The crowd turned on him and booed and he immediately dropped it. After that day he was pure antivax.

It means there is potential to get some nonsense conspiracy from the ground up under these assholes. It's hard, but its possible.

[–] ironycanal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 hours ago

Yes but the reconciliation will be fun as fuck.

[–] iuseasahibtw@ani.social 5 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Did we just create a new R34 genre?

[–] ironycanal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 hours ago
[–] ApertureUA@lemmy.today 3 points 6 hours ago

It has always existed?

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 33 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

Conservatives will believe anything so long as it’s said to them by the right person

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 13 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Or denied by the right person.

"The baseless rumors that the Democratic party are partnering with Anthropic to enable men to become pregnant are divisive lies perpetrated by cretins in the Republican party."

  • Hilary Clinton

That'll have them frothing at the mouth in no time

[–] ironycanal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 hours ago

Somebody call her. Get someone on the inside of openai. Let's do this.

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 6 points 10 hours ago

And disbelieve anything that's said by left people

[–] Burninator05@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Lucky (?) For us the guy at the top is losing his mind and will believe anything you say to him as long as it is framed as a compliment and offers him a way to make a dollar.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 18 points 18 hours ago

They would use it as ammunition to attack trans people even more, please don't
