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

The streams don’t cross though. It’s not physically connected.

I plug the cables directly into my eardrums, don't you?

You're supposed to connect them to your cochlea. The eardrums don't respond correctly to electrical inputs.

Transformers don't physically connect, in a transformer there's a coil on each side of input and output, and the electricity is transmitted by induction.

But I enjoy the thought of being connected with people through electricity!
