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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I mean you're clearly not in a shower

I have a tiny spider like this is my room. Her name is Tiny and she visits my desk when I'm working sometimes. It always makes me smile

I had the same partner at my last workplace. Always showed up on the top of the monitor when I'd arrive in the morning!

For reference this is them on a business card.

That's really cute ngl

They can burst move faster than our eyes are capable of seeing. Most of their movements are burst speeds lol. So they effectively are D&D phase spiders XD

Have you tried unplugging your eyes, installing the later firmware and drivers and plugging it back in?

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm afraid it wont reinstall correctly or I lose the drivers. This hardware is ancient.

Quite often, doom is the only thing that will run.

Have you tried turning on DLSS or FSR ? It should improve frame rate.

I can't be the only one confused about whether this was supposed to be an animated image or not.

Just shake your phone a bunch and you'll get the jist of it.

Used to have one that visited me every day for lunch at the office. We were friends and i would put obstacles up and then encourage him to jump onto the obstacles. This went on for several weeks until he just didn't show up one day and never again 😭

It's actually a demon that teleports from one spot to the next

Jumping spiders (I think it's a jumping spider) just kinda be like that. They're very cute but also very twitchy.

[–] BrundleFly2077@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

There’s a scifi novel called Blindsight by Peter Watts that plays with this exact issue.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

They do be movin' like the animation in the Spiderverse movies.

[–] Plopp@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

They also know how to teleport short distances.

Anyone else getting that Dr Who creepy angels vibe ?
