Showerthoughts

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:

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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

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.

They would fit together perfectly, but they can never be joined.

~~only if one of them manages to flip in the third dimension, which shouldn't be possible in a two dimensional world. everything else will be able to be solved by translations and rotations (assuming there is enough room to move around)~~

edit: oh, I get it now. they wouldn't be able to snap together because the noses are thicker than the holes they need to get into. duh

Well, if material is flexible enough they could…

I thought you make, like bendable. Then I realized, you meant, like a buttplug.

Wh...why is there lube on my puzzle? ಠ_ಠ

Do 4D beings have 3D puzzles that would have the same issue for us? 🤔

[–] meekah@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago

If a four dimensional world exists, and if there are intelligent beings there, I would imagine so, yes.

Imagine how awful surgery must seem to them. It would be so easy for them to remove a tumor or ruptured pancreas, but for us it involves basically butchery.

Every four dimensional puzzle is a time worm of puzzle pieces in a box and a fully assembled puzzle and everything in between.

They would have to cut an extremity in three pieces, slide them inside the other puzzle piece, and glue everything up
