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

Specifically the type of printer that prints using spools of plastic filament, but that seems like the most common type anyway

Also, our fingers are printing fingernails.

Maybe 2D is more accurate description.

Hair is three dimensional.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

But the hair printer is not. It can’t make changes in third dimension.

1D would actually be the most accurate, if we were going by movement.

So is printer paper and printer ink

I think hair is a 1d printer process.
