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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

10 years ago, a person would be insulted for filming a video in portrait instead of landscape. Now, old landscape videos are being cropped and resized to fit in a portrait player. (lemmy.world)

It seems like the landscapeboys lost

If they start building vertical cinemas, that's when we lose.

Please don't give them any more ideas...

I mean, that idea isn't mine, nor new: https://youtu.be/dechvhb0Meo?t=87

But people still don’t find diagonal eyes attractive, we will never mutate to having vertically-aligned eyes. Horizontal video supremacy is established by nature. Surgery goes a long way this days but, where would they put your nose?

Nose to the left, mouth to the right, of course.

I thought some more after writing the comment and maaaybe, pick an eye and just align the one they remove above it, like right in the forehead but to one side. It could fit. Worst case they just remove some frontal cortex so it doesn’t stick out too much, won’t be needing it anyway if all one’s gonna do is watch vertical videos!
