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

Why don't planes have a switch beside the call button that you can choose between "wake me up for meal service" or "leave me alone?" (lemmy.ml)

This is a thing on (some) planes.

Took a transatlantic flight that had this functionality.. it wasnt in the call button, but on the infotainment system. Instead of playing movies, you could set the screen to display one of those 2 options.

I've seen that too. I think it was with SAS. On other overnight flights they've asked me in the beginning about my preference on the matter.
