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.

If a thing works, it works. Then corporations realized that doesn't work to keep growing like a cancer. Queue: Make the old thing bad (by enshittification) or pour billions into ads saying no, this NEW thing is what you need now!

Were they actual glass? I think they switched to plastic lenses because they are cheaper, lighter, won't shatter (but will scratch).

Actually they are plastic, not the newer thinner polycarbonate plastic though, they're stupid coke bottle thick, but they work great for my vision.

That was actually one of the first questions that came up about them, whether they were glass or plastic, so I took a razor blade to the very edge and shaved off a very small inconspicuous sliver of the edge to test. Sure enough, plastic. Must be that good shit though 👍
