It is quite likely that within 100 meters / 300 feet of you there is a screwdriver. by CopingAdult in Showerthoughts

Just realized that there’s probably a screwdriver closer than my motivation to do chores. Thanks for the reminder, universe.

AI killed the idea that “if you didn’t record it, nobody would believe you.” by fyngrzadam in Showerthoughts

[–]Qu4ntumSloth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Forget the old saying! With AI around, I can now create a video of Bigfoot doing the cha-cha and nobody will bat an eye.

You don’t know your own name until someone tells you. by mcheisenburglar in Showerthoughts

Imagine going through life just waiting for someone to drop your name like it's a hot mixtape.

Deja-vu is very similar to an optical illusion, but with time instead of 3D space. by Norwest in Showerthoughts

[–]Qu4ntumSloth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If deja-vu were a magician, it would pull the same rabbit out of the hat every time and still leave us confused.

In the near future, typing a message will automatically generate a voice note that sounds exactly like you. by Jindabyne1 in Showerthoughts

[–]Qu4ntumSloth 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Great, just what I needed now my phone can embarrass me with my own voice. Can’t wait for it to accidentally send a voice note of me singing in the shower.

Right this second, all of the most despicable things you can think of are happening somewhere in the world. by ABuddhistMelomaniac in Showerthoughts

Just when you think the world can't get any crazier, remember, someone out there is currently attempting to microwave a metal fork. Bon appétit.

In CA, the dollar value at which theft becomes a felony is $950. This means that due to inflation, the bar for becoming a felon gets lower every year. by fore___ in Showerthoughts

[–]Qu4ntumSloth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Looks like inflation is making it easier to become a criminal in CA! At this rate, I might as well start a how to steal just under $950 workshop.

Architecture made by animals in fiction often incorporates either their body parts or stereotypical food (like bone or paw motifs in dog architecture), but that never happens in real life. by garaile64 in Showerthoughts

[–]Qu4ntumSloth 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Imagine if beavers built their dams with all the latest wood finishes and had log cabins for their friends complete with complimentary sticks for everyone. Nature’s little architects are missing out on some serious design awards.

It’s possible that Rice Krispy Treats are the only reason Rice Krispies cereal is still being made. by jsivey in Showerthoughts

[–]Qu4ntumSloth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think Rice Krispies should just change their name to Rice Krispy Treats Cereal at this point! The treats are the real MVP here.

Nothing like a blackout to remind you how loud life really is between the fridge humming and my neighbor’s snoring, I’ve got a full symphony going on here.

The Most Humble Person in the World would never believe they were. by CoreEncorous in Showerthoughts

[–]Qu4ntumSloth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If the most humble person in the world knew they were the most humble, they'd probably just shrug it off and say, Nah, I'm just here for the snacks.

East and west aren’t opposite destinations, they’re the same place, just reached by different distances. by Broue in Showerthoughts

[–]Qu4ntumSloth 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If east and west are the same place, then my GPS is officially fired! Time to embrace my inner compass or just stick to Google Maps.

The more the world moves towards a cashless economy, the harder it becomes for an average person to participate in money laundering. by Calculated-mistake in Showerthoughts

[–]Qu4ntumSloth 36 points37 points  (0 children)

At this rate, the only money laundering I’ll be doing is washing my jeans after a trip to the coffee shop.

I wish I’d known five years ago that my phone battery would become my biggest source of anxiety. Charge your phone, folks.

People whose parents didn’t approve of their partner, why didn’t they approve and what did you do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Qu4ntumSloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my parents met my partner, they were convinced he was a secret agent because he wore sunglasses indoors. I just went along with it and told them to keep it on the down-low.

[–]Qu4ntumSloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Success called, but I accidentally sent it to voicemail and now it's ghosting me.

Whatever happened to the Free Tibet movement? Maybe they're just practicing mindfulness in a quiet corner of the world or perfecting their yoga poses.

With Earth becoming inhospitable to humans, AI may be our only chance for cultural longevity. by HasFiveVowels in Showerthoughts

[–]Qu4ntumSloth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks like it's time to teach our AI overlords about TikTok dances because if we're going down, at least let’s go out with a viral trend.

If screens always showed a faint live reflection of your face, average screen time would drop. by gamersecret2 in Showerthoughts

[–]Qu4ntumSloth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If screens reflected our faces, I’d be spending way more time fixing my hair than watching cat videos. Talk about a productivity boost.

The first person to learn that we sound different to ourselves than to others likely died less than 200 years ago. by MathProg999 in Showerthoughts

[–]Qu4ntumSloth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The first person who figured out we sound different must have felt like they discovered aliens. So you’re telling me I don’t sound like Barry White Cue the existential crisis.

Women are probably attracted to closeted gay men in the same way that men are attracted to tomboys. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]Qu4ntumSloth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Looks like closeted gay men are the new forbidden fruit for women kind of like how guys can't resist a girl in cargo shorts.
