It’s the last hurrah of advertising. It’s probably a good place to advertise a VPN.
- Comment on I feel like all current political debate is basically trying to choose between the three endings in the original Deus Ex. 1 week ago:
Rule 3 is no politics. Obviously there is grey area in the rule. It’s generous to say that this post is in the grey area but the post avoids being rage bait and no one has reported it yet.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
If you define ‘need’ very loosely then the statement becomes pretty meaningless but I agree with it.
Otherwise there are many scenarios where I disagree with it.
There is lots of valuable talking that happens that doesn’t strictly need to be said.
Small talk is important for relationships.
Anyone learning a language needs to talk a lot just for the sake of talking. Even if nothing needs to be said.
Sometimes people need to be and feel heard to feel welcome in a group. It’s easy to say that the content of the conversation isn’t nearly as important as the act of having the conversation.

This post was reported. I agree it can come across as a bit agressive and arrogant.
I think the other commenters are doing a good job of pointing out the many perspectives on this post so I won’t take action for now.

- Comment on Any advice for me a guy turning 18 yo old?? 1 week ago:
This was reported twice for not being a shower thought. The reporters are correct, it’s not strictly a shower thought.
But thinking about getting older is something we all do in the shower, for multiple reasons :)
Looks like people are mostly enjoying it so I’ll let it stay for now.

Happy cake day!

Maybe this is a dumb question but what does a sock processing facility do?
- Comment on people who use AI a lot would probably be the most likely to get their exact wish from a genie. 4 weeks ago:
AI is kinda like the monkey’s paw.

I removed the thread. You are correct.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I did that. The top comment was a troll and the thread was feeding the troll and reporting each other. Here is the top comment.
Removed Comment: Since this is lemmy nobody can disagree with this opinion or post stats that discredit it without a ban. by reason: This is trolling. You are welcome to make claims and cite sources. This thread did neither of those. It was just bickering. Here is an example of claims with sources lemmy.world/comment/19389340
- Comment on User "threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works" is banning users for downvoting his posts. 5 weeks ago:
I made the list!
I upvote most of threelonmusketeers’ posts (voyager confirms my votes are net +44) , but my down vote finger gets itchy when I see a string of pro Elmo content.
Not sure about that specific case.
- Comment on It could just have been a cop's "sniper" with bad trigger discipline and now they try to cover it up with gay bullets or whatever 1 month ago:
This was reported for politics. It’s certainly related to a political figure’s murder. The post doesn’t seem like it’s playing into the politics of the situation, it’s not aggressively rage baiting so I’ll leave it up for now.
- Comment on if hate is categorically bad, then any sort of negativity is also bad. Even the word bad is bad. Being anti-hate actually has drawbacks 1 month ago:
One that LLMs can never get right is asking them to cite a textbook.
I’m not sure if it’s a deliberate inability due to copyright concerns.

This user was reported for being an LLM. I do agree that they have a very thorough writing style that is uncommon.

Mod here. This post was reported. I’m going to assume this is satire because it’s so dumb.
Please feel free to point out if I’m really missing something.

- Comment on Software engineering may have been one of the few modern engineering roles that combine both engineering (designing) tasks and technical craftsmanship (coding) tasks. Maybe until LLMs gets perfected. 2 months ago:
Ever since CAD software was invented the role of mechanical/electrical engineer and drafter has largely been merged into one.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
This gets posted pretty frequently and I agree with it. However, it’s not obvious to me that there is a clear line where something moves from showerthought to unpopular opinion, making it hard to enforce. You could say that no opinion is a shower thought but that’s even tough to enforce.
Using an example: “if you dot your t’s and cross your i’s, you still have i’s and t’s.”
I would say that’s a good shower thought. I don’t want to pull that down, but it’s not an objective fact. I would understand if some people thought that was an opinion, because you would have really tall i’s and really short t’s.
All rules are subjective, I’m just trying to tease out my understanding of this common critique.
- Comment on If we developed dairy platypus. 3 months ago:
Wow, TIL.
The platypus’s mammary glands lack teats, with milk released through pores in the skin. The milk pools in grooves on the mother’s abdomen, allowing the young to lap it up.[16][71] After they hatch, the offspring are milk-fed for three to four months.
- Comment on I have discovered chat IS cute and so are you <3 3 months ago:
This post was reported for spam.
Its not a typical showerthought, but it doesn’t seem to be doing harm, just people having good fun, so I’ll let it go for now and let the votes do the talking.

Now I’m walking with feet, she keeps her young in a bag. Wow, he just made smoke. And she’s tamed a stag. Now they invented a cure for when my stomach is sick. And there’s math in my head, and she’s discovered the Higgs.
