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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

We have cars for earth, boats for water and planes for air. Nothing for fire. Not that I want to ride on fire.

By that logic, anything that has an engine rides on fire

Ok but the return capsule kinda rides on fire when it re-enters the atmosphere

The fire is at the vehicle’s boundary for a rocket, making the rocket a vehicle that rides on fire.

Yes, and a hang glider rides on air.
