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.

USB-C will be around for a long time, it's a strong standard. Wireless inductive charging won't take over for a long time because it's limited in speed, and WiFi/Bluetooth are much slower for data transfer.

USB-C is just the connector type, not a particular speed.

True, I appreciate the correction, the actual data transfer speed is determined by the USB version.

I will never forgive USB for the ridiculous naming

Agree, it's a total trainwreck

480mbps is still faster than shitty cloud services

edit: yes I know about usb 1.0 and 1.1

USB 1.0 barely got any traction. I have never seen a device in the wild.

USB 1.1 exploded in use and was fantastic compared to the mess before. It was fast enough for most file sizes at the time.

USB 2.0 is still very usable today.
