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

I realize it would mean she would no longer be fighting for her rights in her satin tights, but you'd think Wonder Woman would have made her whole outfit out of whatever her bracelets are made out of. (lemmy.world)

Yes. I have had a ground unit radar operator call out a "small aircraft" in a restricted zone repeatedly that we passed over (without seeing it) repeatedly, only for it to disappear and reappear again in the same general area. It was on the third or fourth pass I noticed two large birds flying wingtip to wingtip exactly where they were saying, and disappeared when the split apart.

So the size of a bird? Maybe not. The size of TWO birds? Yes. Annoyingly so.
