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.

I always heard that UFO sightings dropped drastically once cell phones became widespread.
Yes. OP is making stuff up. As cameras became better we started getting less and less sightings for UFO, Bigfoot, Lockness, ect.
Better cameras made it harder to capture "UFOs", but generative AI makes it easier again.
I searched for "ai generated ufo sightings", and yeah, there are a lot.
But with AI generated images we'll get more 😊 /j
OP say lot words to say AI getting big when few words do trick
It’s because they KNEW!
They started hiding!
No, you fool, we're taking more pictures than ever... And they're deleting them with their space haxs
Aside from that one time the Goodyear blimp in NJ took a 5 month break in 2020 and then showed up to the first Giants game and then people filmed the UFO.
NJ also had a mass panic last year with "drones". Absolutely a UFO rash by real definitions, not the UFO=alien version. Those people went outside at night and saw distant planes landing for the first time. There's what, 4 major airports that put descent over the state? I'm sure there were some drones (something about [training for?] lost radioactive material) but it was definitely less than what was reported. Cell phone video was an awful option for aircraft at night but everywhere.
The NJ MAGAs were big mad that even their donny couldn't tell them it was "suv-sized drones" all along. And man, the people that saw actual planes, real planes, plain planes, and called them holograms... I ate so much popcorn watching that fiasco unfold. So many grainy videos, so many spooked people livestreaming, so many hobby drones, so many cgi/Ai videos, and the orbs! So many orb videos from people who've never focused a camera at night, so many existing conspiriscists finding their place in the limelight. That was a riot.
