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.

Similar to how the term 'digital' has shifted from doing numeric calculations and storage to how it's used today, referring to content you purchase and stream or download from the internet.

Terminology changes over time, and I'm not sure that I like some of the changes. 🤷

Well... Don't leave us hanging!

Did the instructions work? You'd think it would be harder than inflating a tablet-style phone... Because of the hinge.

LMFAO!

Want a quick way to inflate a foldable phone, stab it with a screwdriver. Don't mind the smoke and fire, that's just part of the process 🔥👍

Here ya go, this is what Google AI gave me...

How to inflate a foldable phone?

  • Make sure your phone is turned off and that the battery is fully charged.
  • Find the inflation port on your phone. It is usually located on the bottom edge of the phone.
  • Connect the inflation hose to the inflation port.
  • Turn on the inflator and start inflating the phone.
  • Once the phone is fully inflated, disconnect the inflation hose and turn off the inflator.
  • Your phone is now ready to use.

Please note that this is just a general tutorial. The specific steps may vary depending on the model of your phone. Always consult your phone's user manual for more specific instructions. Here are some additional tips:

  • Use a slow and steady stream of air when inflating your phone.
  • Do not over-inflate your phone. This could damage the phone.

If you have any problems inflating your phone, consult your phone's manufacturer or a qualified technician.

Haha, that's amazing.

Guess I need to go buy "an inflator" specifically made for phones 🤣
