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-----

I kinda wonder about 3D video game characters. Are they actually 3D or are they 2D? Would they be the bits inside the computer (and thus the complete idea of the character), or the pixels on the screen (a 2D representation of the character)? If they had sentience, would they possibly be three dimensional beings trapped inside a two dimensional world?
3D characters are created using 3D models but represented to us in 2D via the pixels on the screen.
