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.

and it was more diverse, surprising, and engaging than what the have now.
I wonder when smartphones with a capacity of 40 zettabytes will officially come out. Then we can post this all over again.
There is a time where the entire universe could of fit in the volume of your phone.
That's just the intermediate value theorem.
If we define the size of the Internet as a continuous function, and it started at zero and currently doesn't fit in your phone then yeah, no shit, at some point it fit in your phone.
If it's truly continuous there was an exact point where it would exactly fill up your phone with no room left over.
I remember, towards the end of the last millennium, marveling with some friends about an article estimating the current size of all the data on the internet. IIRC, it was in the neighborhood of a couple hundred terabytes. Wouldn't fit on your phone, but there's plenty of data hoarder types who have that kinda storage on the server in their spare room.

There also was a time when the entirety of the human language would fit in this thread.
We have a great great great great ..... grandfather that was a single cell.
Your ellipsis is too long. It’s like dot dot dot …. it just keeps going on and on and on
grunts approval
grunts dismissive mocking
Grunt grunt, grunt /s
grunts don't make me turn this mammoth around
grunts gotta go potty
This is not a shower thought
It literally was though.
That's not what this sub is for.
Just to sum up: after telling me that this shower thought is not a shower thought, you say that the shower thoughts community is not the place for shower thoughts.
...
Did you forget where you are posting? Or do you maybe have a very ... unique ... definition of what comprises
"the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. [...] thoughts that many people can relate to and [...] find something funny or interesting in regular stuff"
as per the sidebar?
It's not for literally any thought that occurs during a shower.
Right, it's for
“the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. […] thoughts that many people can relate to and […] find something funny or interesting in regular stuff”.
One single html page? I guess, yes.
It's one html page Michael. How big could it be? 10 gigabytes?
The internet or the world wide web?
Well both technically, but at different times
I'm not so sure a single phone could have handled the internet even in infancy. You'd need at least 2. :p
Run a VM in the phone that connects to the host over an OTG cable. Boom, internet
At least 2 phones? Could be 1 phone with a big SD card then...?
But how much stuff do you think was on the nascient www? There's periods where it was literally a few dozen megabytes. Even when usenet was pretty active it wasn't much space in the scheme of things, we had servers storing everything in some few gigabytes of storage.
It was a joke about needing to create a network, which requires at least 2 devices talking to each other.
But he was talking about storage
