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-----

Yeah but the PCB inside the paperless device would be as sharp as a paper, not to mention the component thin legs such as electrolytic capacitors (although the majority of electronic components are tiny blocks surface-mounted, there are components that need to be welded in a THT (through-hole) fashion because their electrical contents can't fit the small space of a SMD).
