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.

One day TV makers are going to switch to 9 by 16 screens, vertical portrait mode TVs on the wall. Im from the future. Check back in 10 years, you will see.
the problem with that, and a big reason why it probably won't be adapted, is that portrait mode shows you fuck all, it's good for showing one person (you know like a portrait) but if you want to show multiple people you have so much deadspace top and bottom. Landscape is just aesthetically better
Also, our freaking eyes are horizontal. There's no way around that
Uh, lie down
You'd still need landscape video.
just stack people on top of each other
The Sero from Samsung back in 2020 is how it all started to go sideways.
Or in this case, upways?
I'd like to think the opposite of sideways is downways
Was trying to be semi-funny based on how the screen changes orientation.
You are probably right though.
Oh, I was trying to build off of your joke by saying that the change from horizontal to vertical video is a downgrade haha
Of course.
