…and they assume that the pointing device is a mouse.

inspiration: I’m using a trackball with my left hand because of a broken button. The pointer shape doesn’t make sense since i’m not clicking with my right index finger.

Most keyboards have a numberpad to the right, so the left is the more ergonomic place for a mouse.

This is why I got a TKL keyboard. It took a long time for me to realize how far away I was reaching for my mouse.

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:

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
Posts must be original/unique
