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
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) 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

The problem is the direct contact to the water, a blanket with water running through it in a circle with a heat spreader or a different cooling device would solve that and would reduce the amount of water by a lot. The blanket would be a bit heavier but by that it would double as a weighted blanket too.
Instead of a blanket the same could be built into the mattresses, not really a water bed but a bed with water cooling.
Devices, for example computers, get cooled like that.
This actually already exists but it's quite pricey: https://www.eightsleep.com/uk/pod-cover/
I was really interested in this when I saw the ad for it, then I saw the price.
Even worse, IMO, than the high initial price is the fact they charge a subscription to continue to use the cooling cover you already paid an arm and leg for.
