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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

If you get revived, that doesn't count as death
That would exclude all video games then. 🤨
That's respawn.
False. In bf4 (and probably most of the battlefield games) if a doc revives you in combat your dead count goes down by one.
What do you mean exactly? Many videogames have a functionality where you are down and bleeding out or something for some time, in which you can be revived (not counting as death). After that, you have to respawn (counting as death). And real people can't be respawned, but revived, so the original take still stands.
The first thing that came to mind was the Revival Book in Dream SMP.
It was a mistake to say "all video games" here.
Not according to doctors.
BF medics beg to differ
I'm sure battlefield medics are aware of clinical death. But, being on a battlefield, they have limited options for how to deal with it.
I'm sure they do! But I meant the video-game Battlefield, not actual battlefield medics. Since K/D is really a video game thing, I leaned into that
LOL - fair enough. I totally misinterpreted that. :D
Haha, good we're on the same page now!
