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: 1

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

It's probably more difficult for kids to throw house parties nowadays when their parents are out of town due to how accessible security cameras are. (self.showerthoughts)

Seems like just about everyone has a video doorbell and/or other cameras monitoring their property. Took it for granted in my youth without even knowing it.

The cheap Wyze cameras I've seen everyone buy lately store locally and have cloud options. They're both usable at the same time too.

They're aren't in any government approved lists but most poors don't give a shit if the CPC is watching them fuck in the living room occasionally when the kids are sleeping lol.

It is fairly cheap option to have some local storage although it won't have a great deal of time. Day or two. But for cloud storage that is perfect as it can handle then brief internet outages without losing any video. Just might be delayed.

I thought about installing it in our commercial cameras by default. Had a client get their NVR stolen and having local camera storage would have given them two days of recorded video. Was certain it was and inside job or past worker so it could have been effective.
