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

We have cars for earth, boats for water and planes for air. Nothing for fire. Not that I want to ride on fire.

Aren't rockets vehicles that ride on fire (that they create themselves)?

By that logic, anything that has an engine rides on fire

Ok but the return capsule kinda rides on fire when it re-enters the atmosphere

The fire is at the vehicle’s boundary for a rocket, making the rocket a vehicle that rides on fire.

Yes, and a hang glider rides on air.
