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

Like, I'm on a plane. I don't want to watch Toy Story when I can do that at home, I want to see what the pilots see. And that way every seat has technically a window to look out of.

I remember international flights that had several outside cameras, one looking slightly down and forward was the best by far, although most of the flight it was just clouds and during landing that one turned to face forward so you couldn't see the runway. Haven't seen them recently though.

Emirates has such cameras, one looking downwards and one mounted somewhere in front of the rudder, looking forward. Maybe there's a third camera as well, I don't remember. I flew in 2019 last time.

I flew air France last month and they have them. I loved it. That was my default screen while I was watching downloaded Netflix shows on my phone.
