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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

MODERATORS
Most stuff is digital these days. Speed is measured by counting number of impulses (wheel rotations) per unit of time, then displayed analogly on dash board using servos and similar. There are many reasons behind this. Some of them are legacy and people are simply use to them. Other is that analog you don't really have to look at them to read them. Just a mere positioning is enough to tell you approximate values. There are aesthetics involved as well. Readability in strong light. Etc.
