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

When one area cools, the air their contracts, when another area warms, it expands
When it contacts, it pulls, when it warms, it pushes.
According to the link in the top comment (sorry for caps, copied it out of the image): COOL AIR TRAVELS TOWARDS WARM AIR OVER LAND.
So the warm air does push, but it pushes upwards (rises). Cool, low pressure air, then fills the void.
