Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Its ironic that the most effective means to fight AI slop may be to use it. Could you use AI slop to FIGHT AI slop?
6·1 day agoHello, thanks for posting to shower thoughts. Rule 2 is that the title should be a complete thought. The idea is that, shower thoughts are simple so someone shouldn’t need to click on a post to know the thought.
Mind updating the title?

Climate@slrpnk.net•Plant-Based Mince Now 29% Cheaper Than Beef at Tesco as Meat Prices Climb281·16 days agoI like that as the meat industry pushes to prevent plant based food from using certain meat words like “sausage” and “burger” but there will always be other slightly less common words, like “mince” and “hash”
Thanks for posting in showerthoughts. Rule 2 is that the title should be a complete thought. Mind beefing yours up a bit?

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Major global cities by the number of CCTV cameras per 1,000 people (2025)

1·2 months agoIn the US, politicians are rarely in on the schemes themselves, they get money more indirectly from lobbyists, superPACs, or insider trading. Are politicians in the UK not able to profit from their votes?

It had politics in the title. But yeah it could be argued that it was more meta, idk.
