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-----

Instead of movies and crappy games on those in-flight displays, they should just stream the view out the cockpit window. (lemmy.ml)

Like, I'm on a plane. I don't want to watch Toy Story when I can do that at home, I want to see what the pilots see. And that way every seat has technically a window to look out of.

I was on an international flight recently that had a few different camera angles you could watch. Flying over the Himalayas was an exceptional view out the window so I was glued to that angle instead of the cameras on a six inch screen. I think it was a Thai airlines flight from Bangkok to London but I don't recall.
