    no thanks. I did nothing wrong so I won’t change. how about we regulate glassholes and force them to wear ugly colored frames.

      You did nothing wrong so you won’t be punished, but you’re going to be judged regardless. Welcome to the wonderful world of stereotypes!

    I can’t wear thin frame, I need the thick plastic. The bridge supports on wire frames lead to tears in my skin that are quite painful with continued use. Plastic frames don’t do that.

    But my frames are translucent dark pink and fade to clear at the bottom, so pretty obviously not shitty recording glasses. Thick black frames look absolutely shit on me.

    Eventually, along a long enough time-frame without disaster striking, we will have smart contact lens.

    Even nanotech in bionic and otherwise altered eyeballs. This will need to be dealt with but I’m not sure how feasible it will be long-term

    In reality the fashion trend will probably swing the other way. More high profile people will be wearing thicker frame glasses, so people will generally begin to perceive them as more elegant and attractive.

      But I like the aesthetics of thicker frames. And not having those stupid plastic discs that dig into my nose and give me headaches. Just require everyone to dip their glasses into a tub of water or something, I doubt smart glasses are water proof.

        They’re gonna be at least a bit waterproof. People wear glasses outside, remember.

          Microwave em for 2 seconds. It won’t heat up the metal bits in plastic frames enough to cause damage but it’ll fry an IC.

    I have worn full rim, plastic frames for years now.

    This time, I purposely bought glasses with metal frames, semi-rimless.

    If somebody breaks my glasses because they think there’s a camera inside, I’m going to see red. Blurry red.

    Your next glasses should have a very thin frame

    Or they can still have a thick frame but have them be transparent

    No way! I’m going with thicker frames than I usually do, just to keep them guessing.

    Are you being recorded? Who knows? Better behave yourself, just in case!

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:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

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.
