I can already see the nothing and clouds out the side window. You think the front is gonna be different? At least you can also look down below out of the side windows. You can't really look at the ground from the cockpit. Well, I mean... You can, but it's not very fun because you have to point the nose of the plane down.

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.

Almost all airlines with screens now have cameras you can choose to watch. That being said, none of them are actually out of the cockpit window and are all external cameras. They are usually not very interesting except during takeoff/landing as they’ll usually just show clouds or ocean or land that’s too far away to make anything out.
I am just sleeping nowadays, dont give a fuck about movies or anything else. Its 8 hours of nothing, i better go sleeping
How do you manage to sleep, I feel like I never have enough space to do it without disturbing others
Some have maps which I enjoy watching. When you can't see the land below you can at least see which random tiny islands you are flying over.
Maybe having all of the passengers watching the pilot's every move might put too much pressure on them
