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

Up until the API debacle, that was my solution too. Now even that doesn't work. It's so bizarrely hard to look something up on the internet now.

I use chat GPT 4 for a lot of things instead of Google now.

Same here, for the reason that I don't have to scroll through crap pages that only exist to show ads.
