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
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 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-----

One day TV makers are going to switch to 9 by 16 screens, vertical portrait mode TVs on the wall. Im from the future. Check back in 10 years, you will see.
the problem with that, and a big reason why it probably won't be adapted, is that portrait mode shows you fuck all, it's good for showing one person (you know like a portrait) but if you want to show multiple people you have so much deadspace top and bottom. Landscape is just aesthetically better
Also, our freaking eyes are horizontal. There's no way around that
Uh, lie down
You'd still need landscape video.
