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

Sorry, as an engineer, this whole "shape of a birds wing makes air move faster over it" pisses me off to no end.
Airfoils are shaped the way they are for drag purposes, not whatever crazy things they say, we could make them like massive triangles and they would still work.

he did come up with that half explanation 250 what years ago, so I'll give him a pass.
kind of a bummer that a half explanation is his most famous 'discovery" even though he did so much
No, yeah, Bernoulli was a genius who did a lot otherwise, he should be remembered for all his other scientific contributions..
But you fuck one goat...
