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

Instead of movies and crappy games on those in-flight displays, they should just stream the view out the cockpit window. (lemmy.ml)

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've flown about 20k miles in June and July from Seattle to JFK and back due to my father going missing.

I'm so over flying right now.

I'm still going to have to put another 5k miles in this month, and I'm not looking forward to it.

Did you find him?

[–] popemichael@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He was found in the middle of field, covered in chemical burns, and in a coma. He was trying to "burn the microphones" out from under his skin

Unfortunately, not but a few days that he was released from the hospital, he passed away in his sleep in my chair in my living room

I'm organizing a funeral on both coasts of the USA as we speak.

Sorry man, best of luck. Mental health problems have become an epidemic.
