Showerthoughts
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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
Uranium boils water which turns a turbine, the turbine makes electricity, the electricity powers your kettle, and your kettle boils the water. Obviously the best thing to do is to cut out all the messing around converting this to that, and have uranium powered kettles.
A uranium powered kettle is straight out of the fallout universe
Every home could have a mini reactor and it would give you all the heat you need.
For the rest of your life, even
This kettle goes up to 18,000 roentgen so you know it’s good.

Not great, not terrible.
Technically doesn't uranium boil one vessel of water, to then boil another vessel via a heat exchanger before turning the turbine?
So it takes 3 rounds to boil water for a cuppa?
I'm about to have my house powered by fusion energy.
'Splained
I'm installing a PV system, and solar energy is just fusion power at a distance.
Add another proxy, and even a nuclear fission power plant is just using stored stellar fusion power.
So, let's just use it directly instead.
If you really think about it, all forms of our electricity production are solar powered, just not necessarily by our sun.
I'm not sure if that's 100% accurate. I think hydrogen existed before stars
