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. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules

- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Wind: The sun (a giant fusion reactor) heats the atmosphere which generates the wind (highly simplified).

Wind is due to the asemetric effects of heating different parts of the globe different amounts. Hydro is from rain and snow which is evaporated with the sun
