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

Why haven't car manufacturers standardized automatic brake lights when a built in accelerometer detects deceleration? (lemmy.world)

I heal-toe, so I'm pressing the brake as I'm engine braking. But I think I've read somewhere that newer manuals actually will turn on the brake light on heavy deceleration via engine brakes, I just don't know firsthand because every very I've owned has been old as shit. Ditto with electric cars that have aggressive regen braking.
