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

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Super hot is the most innovative game I've played in years

Play "Baba is you"

Everyone is interpreting this as Big Bang stuff, but like bread and cell phone cases and windows are all super hot (super being relative) when made

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe 37 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That’s what I figured OP meant too. Many things require heat to render into everyday products. Except maybe textiles. And ice cubes.

What about magnets?

Especially when it was going supernova.

Then again during planetary accretion.

Reading this after hugging my wife made me wonder if the encounter that made her was super hot or not. Honestly I don't feel comfortable enough to ask.

Especially other people

10% of you has never been fused since the beginning of the universe... but it was hot way back then, and likely in the outer shell of a star or few. image from wikipedia of human elemental composition showing 10% hydrogen https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_the_human_body

An ice cube can be as hot as 273 degrees

Yeah I know kelvin are not degrees, but I thought it would go unnoticed, or at least be as vague as OP; should have stated under standard pression condition too

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Does that mean, once I was hot?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Only if you've ever touched your self.

[–] Etterra 4 points 11 months ago

Well I mean, yeah; most heavier matter was formed during suppernovas.
