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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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
