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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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 mean you're clearly not in a shower

Better signal in there or something?

I have a tiny spider like this is my room. Her name is Tiny and she visits my desk when I'm working sometimes. It always makes me smile

I had the same partner at my last workplace. Always showed up on the top of the monitor when I'd arrive in the morning!

For reference this is them on a business card.

That's really cute ngl

They can burst move faster than our eyes are capable of seeing. Most of their movements are burst speeds lol. So they effectively are D&D phase spiders XD

Have you tried unplugging your eyes, installing the later firmware and drivers and plugging it back in?

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm afraid it wont reinstall correctly or I lose the drivers. This hardware is ancient.

Quite often, doom is the only thing that will run.

Have you tried turning on DLSS or FSR ? It should improve frame rate.

Used to have one that visited me every day for lunch at the office. We were friends and i would put obstacles up and then encourage him to jump onto the obstacles. This went on for several weeks until he just didn't show up one day and never again 😭

I can't be the only one confused about whether this was supposed to be an animated image or not.

Just shake your phone a bunch and you'll get the jist of it.

[–] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 months ago

It's actually a demon that teleports from one spot to the next

Jumping spiders (I think it's a jumping spider) just kinda be like that. They're very cute but also very twitchy.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

They do be movin' like the animation in the Spiderverse movies.

[–] BrundleFly2077@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

There’s a scifi novel called Blindsight by Peter Watts that plays with this exact issue.

[–] Plopp@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

They also know how to teleport short distances.

[–] gaael@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Anyone else getting that Dr Who creepy angels vibe ?
