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.

Why we actually need bluelight filters in lens, monitors and phones? Led bulbs are already emitting a hell lot brighter bluelight every day and night. Whats the point in buying these less blue marketed gadgets

An article came out last month or sometime relatively recently that basically says blue light filtering doesn't help jack.

Personally I prefer warm toned light in everything except my computer monitor.

Edit: published study AND summary article. I only read the article but there is a published study associated with it.

Yep, turns out that while there is a subjective comfort benefit, there is no medical effect to it. Still worth it of course as far as just feeling nicer to use / be around goes, but also means there's no use spending money on a solution for it.
