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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Spin Doctors a Mythbusters-esque show about spinning things amazingly fast.
Built a large centrifuge, buy a high speed camera, lights and random junk and watch that Youtube money rain.
... yea that would probably work. Like that hydraulic press guy that just squishes stuff.
Some of the worst lab accidents involve imbalanced centrifuges. The rotors essentially explode when they fail. Making a centrifuge that you could film the contents of sounds like it would lack the proper shielding to contain a failure.
I wouldn't trust the average youtuber to know just how dangerous such a setup could be.
So what you're saying is that the show has a built-in potential for extra drama/explosions and amazing destruction footage that could be greatly monetized?
Sold.
"We're the Spin Doctor, we spin things real fast so you don't have time. Stuff may explode and our only garantee is that we'll capture the footage and show it to you."
