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

Radio vs TV for Boomers

B&W vs Color for Gen X

SD vs HD would be Millenials

4K vs HD for Zoomers

I’m late gen X so that doesn’t fly.

I'm a millennial and I can't really tell the difference between SD and HD. Do you mean like when YouTube switches to 360p instead of 1080?

Just FYI. Ultra HD is 4k Full HD is 1080p (2k) HD is720p (1k) SD is 480p

I recall some people calling 1440p 2K and it really grinds my gears
