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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

The unpronounceable symbol :

Hollow circle above downward arrow crossed with a curlicued horn-shaped symbol and then a short bar

(known to fans as the "Love Symbol")

I'm in awe of the outstanding quality of the symbols pic

24 x 28 pixels, 320 bytes, from Wikipedia...
Prince_logo.svg.webp
... if it really was SVG format it would be much greater quality.

They may have made the classic "let's batch-optimize all images for the web" or maybe using a CDN provider, either with wrong settings.

Yeah SVG would make it almost endlessly scalable.
