Its my working theory that artists (The Beatles or John Carmack) are always operating in this type of mental 'shower' environment. Makes me wonder if maybe there is a 'myaquaguitar.com' alternative haha
Never seen John Carmack described as an artist before

#54Earlier quoted context omitted.
Maybe something to do with electricity suddenly being 5-10x more expensive than usual.
Skyrocketing energy prices projected to cause unprecedented drop in already dangerously low rate of European innovation!
European innovation is doing quite well. As usual it's the part where we actually make money off the innovations where we suck. Good trolling effort though! ;)

#55“If you’ve ever emerged from the shower or returned from walking your dog with a clever idea or a solution to a problem you’d been struggling with, it may not be a fluke.” Did we really need someone to tell us this? Do people just assume everything is a fluke until some higher authority tells you otherwise?
It's fascinating. Some random content creator writes a banal article and it offends someone and kicks off a thread of discussion. Accidental short virality at its best.
When I was in college, I made some bucks writing stuff like the OP article. Mostly content-free, just words for the sake of words that were not particularly complex (That job is probably AI automated by now).
I wonder how many people went to war in comment threads over the stuff I wrote with no particular knowledge or interest, with my only interest being able to take my girlfriend on a date. Amusing.

#56I have a theory that it’s also related to heat. Try drinking a pot of coffee in a hot tub if you can find one, set to a high temp. It’s quite the creative experience.

Brilliant! I use the iPhone for my purposes because it’s waterproof. At least the newer models are. Have dropped it in deep water with no ill effects.

My understanding was that both heat and steam are bad for waterproof electronics, just be careful mate
Edit: Aww HN strips emoji, should have seen that coming lol
