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
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I feel like that's a reference to a supremely underrated and long forgotten television show...
It’s a reference to a patent held by the navy. It’s concentric shells of nickel or something like that, then microwaves bounced inside that cavity. According to the patent it ends up producing power on the order of a hundred atom bombs per second.
