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

If you press on your nose and your genitals at the same time your body takes a screenshot

For me it's different, it's when I sneeze and fart at the same time.

Mine just took a shot that landed on my screen

Why do I want to try this?

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago

I already have plenty of pictures of Shrek.

It's hard to screenshot dreams because you are in your dreams and have very low conscious control over your real body.

But you can start the screen recording before you goto sleep so that it'll be recorded automatically. You can extract frames. Good luck.

I'd actually love that. Last night I dreamed I was playing something akin to X-Wing Alliance with my dad's Thrustmaster joystick and actually feeling the g-force of all the movement. The fucking alarm clock went off while I was trying to land inside a Star Destroyer (which had an entire brick interior decor for dream reasons) after bombing its turrets.

Sounds like a dream!

Or Save Replay 🔴 of cool shit that just happens in real life.

You can once they release recall for humans

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

Wow! I dreamt about Brawndo??

You sure did 😉

Your screenshot will be free but there will be an embedded watermark unless you pay for a subscription.

That would be so cool. I often dream about taking pictures of wonderful landscapes, but the phone has always some kind of problem that prevent me to do so. Sometimes I also have the explicit thought of "damn, too bad I'm in a dream and it won't save to my phone anyway".

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

Yeah, it's weird that your brain always avoids the thing. Same with going to the toilet in dreams. I wonder what trains your brain to avoid the thing.

[–] Intrama@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

So much so.

[–] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Damn you made me remember last night's dream where I handed someone three bags, one of them contained dirt, one nutella, and one poop. They were all indistinguishable visually and somehow not even via smell. And then I ran away. I don't know why I was so panicked that they would come after me but I woke up panicking.

I still remember yesterday night's dream where I was being driven to the coast in Portugal, where Portugal was just a 1km wide strip. I have never been to Portugal.

[–] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Now you have been, bro. Now you have been.

[–] RobotZap10000@feddit.nl 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This would be a great Monkey's Paw post.

[–] RustyNova@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Granted. You can now screenshot your dreams.

They get deleted at the end too

[–] dinckelman@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I get nightmares almost every day so i think i’m good. I don’t wanna see that again

[–] ShunkW@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Talk to your doctor about prazosin. It's done wonders for me. I don't dream at all when I take it.

[–] MeatStiq@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I had a pretty cool dream and remembered most of it right before I woke up. I wrote it down for my big Hollywood screen play...

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Wouldn't share that around the office. My last dream was of encasing my boss in lego.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

Yes but I still think there should be a social network where you could voluntarily share these dream screenshots with other people.
