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

In the future, the artists of retro-looking videos will artificially add compression artifacts instead of film grain. (self.showerthoughts)

People are already doing this. Example: the band Vulfpeck has been doing this since at least 5-6 years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le0BLAEO93g&pp=ygUJZGVhbnRvd24g

that video is technically is film grain. Compression artefact would look more like like this.
