A billionaire probably has the same phone as you. https://redd.it/1uv9oq1 @r_Showerthoughts

Adults who wave like we teach kids to wave are viewed socially as a bit weird. https://redd.it/1uv19m4 @r_Showerthoughts

If AI is used to replace human workers, usage should be taxed as if it were human. https://redd.it/1uuw47b @r_Showerthoughts

Humans have language because we are social animals. The only reason we imagine AI with a language is to communicate with us. But if it were to spawn naturally, it might not need a language, not even a coding language like "assembly", since those were created also, for human understanding. https://redd.it/1uutckr @r_Showerthoughts

Maybe Fermi's paradox is because every civilization creates AI which destroys it. https://redd.it/1uudi3k @r_Showerthoughts

When it comes to mobile phones, the question of can you hear me now is never no. https://redd.it/1uua5ku @r_Showerthoughts

Thanks to colonoscopies, the average number of cameras up one's butt is between zero and one. https://redd.it/1uu640d @r_Showerthoughts

Asking a girl if it feels good to put/have a tampon in is like asking a guy if it feels good to hold their penis while they pee. https://redd.it/1uu0duy @r_Showerthoughts

At some point, there was probably a guy named Adam who genuinely thought it was called an “Adam’s apple” because it belonged to him. https://redd.it/1uu1ptz @r_Showerthoughts

Americans are relatively easier to scam because the culture encourages casual small talk between strangers, which gives hostile actors an easier way to get their “foot in the door”. https://redd.it/1utxcu1 @r_Showerthoughts

It's sad people are confusing CGI with AI in media like they have with WIFI and the Internet. https://redd.it/1utu47e @r_Showerthoughts

High heels are today’s version of foot binding. https://redd.it/1uth5we @r_Showerthoughts

If you're flying in an airplane and saving data to "the cloud" the data is going through actual clouds down to the ground. https://redd.it/1uthxuo @r_Showerthoughts

A decade or two ago we were just worried about kids no longer being able to read or write in cursive. Now we're worried about them being able to read or write at all. https://redd.it/1ut2vu4 @r_Showerthoughts

If eventually we said - “Ok, screw it, this 1/2 of the world is banning Ai forever, making it totally illegal, and we’ll have clean versions of every app and the other 1/2 of the world will use Ai.” I think we’d be surprised how many people would pick the 1st world. https://redd.it/1us4jpr @r_Showerthoughts

People are wrong all the time, but we had never seen a computer be confidently wrong prior to LLMs. https://redd.it/1us08gw @r_Showerthoughts

People self organize in elevators to maximize space. https://redd.it/1urz1qe @r_Showerthoughts

Via screens, traffic-signals, displays on appliances, and dashboards in vehicles, many of us spend the majority of our lives being led around by artificial lights. The will-o'-the-wisp has evolved. https://redd.it/1uqe4f1 @r_Showerthoughts

Carjacking in GTA wouldn’t work if everyone had push-start cars that only work when the key fob is in the cabin. https://redd.it/1uq9gcc @r_Showerthoughts

Everyone seems convinced the job market is a disaster when the data shows the economy is actually doing fine. This perception is pretty nice for employers as it’s a lot easier to justify suppressing wages when everyone feels lucky to have a job. https://redd.it/1uq3h2y @r_Showerthoughts
