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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.
It’s neither, it’s an underground activity :)
Is there usually a door at the entrance to a cave?
In Germany? Yes
Ever played the elder scrolls?
What room has a roof and ceiling but no walls…
A mush-room!^^
Lichen your style
You moss be kidding, that was leek at best.
I say outdoors. Indoors has a vibe of being human made to me, and a low likelihood of encountering wildlife. So I guess walking around a mine is indoor cave exploration
Many caves are modified to accommodate their visitors. This could be a small as leaving behind oxygen tanks or equipment, or as advanced as installing electrical wiring and ventilation. This was the case of several caves I visited as a tourist with no real exploration skills.
there are other ways to modify a cave
I'd like to know more about this picture!
Yes
Now that's a good question. I believe it's still outdoors, indoors has the meaning of "comfort from your own home" rather than meaning inside a closed off area. Knitting is an indoor activity, hiking is outdoors
Lots of sports are played indoors that isn't inside someone's home.
I would consider a cave to be "outdoors" unless maybe somethings been done to it to make it into a dwelling. Since there is no door it's at least somewhat open to the elements, you would have to contend with various wildlife that may live there, the floor would be either dirt or bare rock, these are all things one would have to deal with while doing "outdoor activities"
I'm going to say outdoor.
The "door" part doesn't really have any significance. No one would say camping under the open sky is an indoor activity, even if there's a fence with a door around the campsite.
I think it makes more sense for the deciding factor be whether you're in a controlled or uncontrolled environment. And while part of the cave might be controlled if there's an artificial entryway or home, that's not what you're there to see.
Maybe I'm gatekeeping, but isn't a fence door a gate?
I’ve been in show caves in Bonaire that had some degree of climate control, mainly for humidity and to ensure sufficient oxygen for visitors for a comfortable experience and to accommodate large groups.
Certainly that’s the exception rather than the rule in my case.
Caves are outdoors because a bunker is indoors and the cave around it is outdoors.
Just for the sake of argument and fun:
Aren’t we all outdoors because we are living in buildings that are themselves outside?
I agree with the door argument but would also add my two cents... If it's a cave dwelling it would be inside but you also wouldn't be cave exploring. You'd be in a 'civilized' area
'Civilized'? You've clearly not seen my house then, it's wall-to-wall beer cans, some empty, some not, some with piss in
That's why civilized was in quotes. You're "civilized"
Depending on the development of the spelunking infrastructure entering the cave might entail going in then outdoors again.
Indoors is an enclosed building, outdoors is everything outside of that
