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 most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Is that canon? It seems that digitalization is not a thing in Pokémon.
In Legends Arceus they explain how Pokémon can naturally become smaller and Poke Balls are just empty containers which trigger that reaction. Kinda makes sense given that Poke Balls apparently were invented before anything digital.
Idk if any game ever explains how they are then stored in the PC, but according to PokeSpe, Poke Balls are physically sent and stored in literal boxes.
Literally in the first Pokemon game on the good old Gameboy there is the system where the Pokemon are send to and stored on "someone's pc". There is no post box system but just a PC where you can send (and retrieve) your Pokemon from anywhere on the continent in a split second, a speed not possible with the postal system.
Starting in Let's Go you can access the Box system from anywhere - and it's called the Box Link. Unless the trainers all secretly cart off their pokemon to a mailbox while we aren't looking with the menu in our way it's probably digitizing.
Pokemon is stored in the pokeballs
But where are the pokemons that you catch when your team is full?
What's pkhex
It’s a save editor. You can modify or create new Pokémon with it
Also you would hope they have excellent data verification methods for flipped and lost bits.
