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 mean you're clearly not in a shower

I have a tiny spider like this is my room. Her name is Tiny and she visits my desk when I'm working sometimes. It always makes me smile

I had the same partner at my last workplace. Always showed up on the top of the monitor when I'd arrive in the morning!

For reference this is them on a business card.

That's really cute ngl

They can burst move faster than our eyes are capable of seeing. Most of their movements are burst speeds lol. So they effectively are D&D phase spiders XD

Have you tried unplugging your eyes, installing the later firmware and drivers and plugging it back in?

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm afraid it wont reinstall correctly or I lose the drivers. This hardware is ancient.

Quite often, doom is the only thing that will run.

Have you tried turning on DLSS or FSR ? It should improve frame rate.

Used to have one that visited me every day for lunch at the office. We were friends and i would put obstacles up and then encourage him to jump onto the obstacles. This went on for several weeks until he just didn't show up one day and never again 😭

I can't be the only one confused about whether this was supposed to be an animated image or not.

Just shake your phone a bunch and you'll get the jist of it.

It's actually a demon that teleports from one spot to the next

Jumping spiders (I think it's a jumping spider) just kinda be like that. They're very cute but also very twitchy.

[–] BrundleFly2077@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 months ago

There’s a scifi novel called Blindsight by Peter Watts that plays with this exact issue.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

They do be movin' like the animation in the Spiderverse movies.

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

They also know how to teleport short distances.

[–] gaael@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Anyone else getting that Dr Who creepy angels vibe ?
