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.

My kids use chat gpt to learn stuff sometimes, like math. They do extensively check it's not bullshit though.
I definitely see a trend where crappy teachers get bested by computers.
I'm just imagining a bunch of young children that talk and think like ChatGPT. They will not understand that humans should be drawn with 2 arms
Yeah but Michelangelo gets a pass as he was a crazy genius!
Edit: Leonardo ofc
Fyi the vitruvian man was drawn by Leonardo, not Michelangelo. Different ninja turtle.
It is the new popular art style.
"Mommy, why do some people have three arms?"
Don't worry, kid. You've got two arms, and that's above average.
Ha ha took me a while lol
Crappy teachers get bested by computers which turn out to be even crappier because they don't give a shit about things like how a kid is feeling today psychologically or if they just need some encouragement to try a little harder.
And then you get into the hallucinations.
I would rather have a crappy teacher that cares about the kids than an AI who has no capacity to do so.
Ya, but where do you find those "teachers who care about kids" you are taking about?
That's why you should have good teachers. Replacing them with machines isn't a solution, because kids have to learn from other humans. That's kinda how our species works. Learning isn't just based on strings of words, but also human interaction.
In the best of worlds of course, but for now it's better than nothing.
The very best is a personal teacher but that seems unlikely for most kids...
