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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I have seen digital billboards in images but never in person

How bad are they?

In Iceland there are some billboards that shine like the sun and if you look at them on a red light you'll have dangerously strong after image. Needless to say I hate them, they should just use e-ink and lights if they want to automate them.

They're ok I guess, not much worse than the analog ones, except for the ones that are way too bright. That should be illegal.
