Radio vs TV for Boomers

B&W vs Color for Gen X

SD vs HD would be Millenials

4K vs HD for Zoomers

I’m late gen X so that doesn’t fly.

And I’m late boomer, so I’m b&w to color.

I'm a millennial and I can't really tell the difference between SD and HD. Do you mean like when YouTube switches to 360p instead of 1080?

[-] Clarke311@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Just FYI. Ultra HD is 4k Full HD is 1080p (2k) HD is720p (1k) SD is 480p

I recall some people calling 1440p 2K and it really grinds my gears

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.
