Showerthoughts

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:

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.

Post title at limit, but meant to be peak tactile feedback in computer storage.

The space saved from being thin made it bad for looking up and finding a specific disk within a stack, tho, as it couldn't fit an end label

MicroSD cards fit these requirements too

You can label them with smol labels, that's what I do with all of mine! They're full of movies, books, and video game installs.

No, but SD/MMC do. Micro SD are so small they're awkward to carry and store.

I disagree, MicroSD is my external storage of choice. Their size makes them ideal to carry and store but you might need to rethink how you go about doing it.

In a tactile sense, MicroSD are worse in every sense. I have a case to store some of mine, which I have to open gently unless I want half of them to pop out and fall on the floor. A different storage, which I 3D printed, fixes that problem but has another, which is picking up a single one and not 3 at a time, since they're kept in a line with roughly 2mm of space between them

Kinda sounds like you are blaming the case at least in part. Why not switch to a better case?
