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.

USB-D!😎 Shaped like a crescent moon! Also, we're going back to brick phones to accommodate the shape.

And they should be secured with thumb screws, like an old parallel cable.

Funnily enough, USB c can also do that.

Once you've used one you'll be angry that they're not standard, at least on desktop/kiosk devices. USB-A also had that as an option.

I use Goop adhesive for cables I don't want falling out.

Only takes a tiny amount at the connector shoulder, it'll never fall out but is still removable by hand.

Or if I really want it to stay, I use a lot of goop, and I know that fucker is never coming out without a sharp knife.

Let's not skip Mini USB-C along the way

But first.... 5 different standards of normal USB-C and if you use the wrong type then it will damage your battery. Fuck you Nintendo.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

That already happend and- oh you already said fuck Nintendo.

In all seriousness, this would make the most sense in terms of progression in design. It already sorta' is just that, but it's been stepped on.

Hah! Just hit me, if I'd seen a USB-C plug back in the day, my first thought would've been "oof, someone isn't playing bootleg cartridge games for a while!"

My guess is USB D will be one dimensional, ie a cylinder pin, like the good old headphone jack. You can plug it with your eyes closed or in the dark

It would be hilarious if they made it exactly like a headphone jack, but the USB-D slot wouldn't support headphones.
