Showerthoughts

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

My laptop takes 300w to charge. We aren’t quite there yet with USB-C. It will trickle charge off USB-C though.

Edit: It’s a 16in Lenovo Legion from 2023.

This.

Original commenter: are you using a blender as a laptop?

[–] ZiemekZ@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Blender can be used on a laptop, too. Y'know, the other one.

Is your laptop just a PC you rest on your lap?

Does that have 2 power connectors?

[–] funkajunk@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Looks like one for monitor, one for the "PC"

I think your laptop may actually be a Mars rover.

Are you running a toaster oven off your laptop?

There's proprietary usbc implementations that can deliver 300w so were close
