Specifically the type of printer that prints using spools of plastic filament, but that seems like the most common type anyway

Also, our fingers are printing fingernails.

Maybe 2D is more accurate description.

Hair is three dimensional.

[-] MxM111@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

But the hair printer is not. It can’t make changes in third dimension.

1D would actually be the most accurate, if we were going by movement.

[-] sus@programming.dev 1 points 10 months ago

So is printer paper and printer ink

[-] fubbernuckin@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I think hair is a 1d printer process.

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

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