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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

The more air conditioners in an area the hotter becomes around it. In turn increasing the demand for AC. Infinite money glitch. (lemmy.world)

You totally can.

I'm planning on making some panels to help cool my garden in an attempt to help plants survive extreme heat and sun by shooting some of that heat into space! The combination of partial shading with cooling mass vs heating mass should help a bit. People think it doesn't work, but I'd imagine growing a garden on a asphalt blacktop vs white cement would make a few degrees difference. This technology does the same thing, it just pushes the boundaries further to cool below atmospheric temperature.

You're the first person I've seen bring this up, not sure why it's not more popular, just new I guess. Also, usually when I bring it up people say it's' bad because it will encourage more fossil fuel growth and they totally miss the point.
