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.

offline Wikipedia on a phone vs llama which needs a PC:
wiki needs:
Llama 3.1 8B Requirements:
also keep in mind most people outside of tech/gamer bros can't afford the financial investment for a PC that can run it. most people can afford an Android phone
my PC is a refurbished second-hand dinosaur from 2019 and it can do this fine, no gpu. And you don't need good specs at all other than the RAM being enough to load the model into memory, which in this case is 5 gigs.
You sure about androids?
Anyway if llama 3.1 is too big, just use qwen3:0.6b or something small
Also Wikipedia doesn't contain all knowledge of the internet, but this stuff was trained on everything
at least Wikipedia won't waste your time with misinformation. llama could be trained on the entirety of human history for all I care, doesn't matter one bit if it can't provide accurate sources and facts
When you don't have internet access, which is the use case I was talking about, you don't have sources other than what you've downloaded. If you cant check the sources, then effectively there are none.
