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

Hydroelectric primer is actually solar energy. Sun evaporated water.. Which then rains too full the damn, then gravity does is job.. But it all starts with solar.. Freaking epic. And they called the Aztecs crazy for venerating the sun. Better than am imaginary friend I'll tell you what.

All energy except nuclear is technically solar energy...

Solar in the definition of “of our star, Sol”…sure. But all energy is celestial in origin.
