I wonder what ever happened to that manhole that got shot up by a nuclear explosion.

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:
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.
Dang couple friends using that word ablate in the comments. I gotta look it up.
Before I look it up, I imagined a scenario where it could happen. This is fresh out my butt brain(I’m playing with the phrase “pulling it out of my butt”, meaning making it up for my non-native english speaking friends) I could see this place(existence) playing a crazy trick that when something reaches a certain speed it creates a heat bubble kind of thing around the object, and the object is not affected by extreme heats, because the friction or air resistance around the object make a protective covering, kind of like how sharks have rough skin that grips the water around touching it to apply to the friction of the water around it. Although that’s what I remember from early school science classes.
Ablate is a fun word, in this case; To remove by erosion, melting, evaporation, or vaporization.
The leidenfrost effect is definitely a real and neat phenomenon
