If you are listening to music with wired headphones while the device you are using is charging, you are probably connected indirectly to someone doing the same.

    The connection ends at the first transformer. Their is no electrical connection between primary and secondary.

        The streams don’t cross though. It’s not physically connected.

            You’re supposed to connect them to your cochlea. The eardrums don’t respond correctly to electrical inputs.

        Transformers don’t physically connect, in a transformer there’s a coil on each side of input and output, and the electricity is transmitted by induction.

        But I enjoy the thought of being connected with people through electricity!

    You likely aren’t because most power supplies are fully isolated.

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
