vision is based on a “dark current”

WTF, for some reason, reading about all this stuff is seriously freaking me out about my eyes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_current_(biochemistry)

It's been that way since long before the dawn of humanity itself, and will be that way long after we ourselves are gone (unless all we leave behind are cockroaches), so don't sweat it - our understanding is irrelevant to its continued functioning regardless:-).

Showerthoughts

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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----
