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:
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.
He may have been on the other room but his x-ray vision and super hearing means he knew exactly what was happening.
If he has x-ray vision shouldn't he just be seeing a bunch of bones or other dense objects not penetrable by x-rays? Can it be shut off? How? Are we sure he wasn't responsible for a drastic rise in cancer rates by going around just blasting everyone with his radiation vision all day?
While he can turn off his laser vision I am going to go ahead and say he cannot turn off x-ray vision. Superman only identifies people based on skeletal structure.
Have you ever seen Superman compliment someones hair?
Me neither.
Is there a one-shot somewhere about people around superman getting cancer due to his x-ray vision? I think it would be an observable phenomenon if his eyes always worked in this manner.

In the comics (at least those from my decades ago childhood), it's depicted as him seeing the same as normal people do - just through stuff. As such, I've always assumed it's not actually X-Rays proper & they just used that phrase to convey the concept of seeing through solid objects.
