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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Pure black and pure white are the null points in the color spectrum. Everything in between is a gradient. And rainbows are not the default gradient, the shadow behind you is just a dimmer shade of the same color.
What do you mean? "Rainbows" relate to frequency while shadows correspond to intensity.
Exactly. Rainbows are a rare phenomenon, shadows are common.
Edit: I have an entire custom software that I wrote to process this very basic concept.
True, but I think maybe you missed this being about additive and subtractive color mixing.
My color processing system is neither additive nor subtractive, at least not in the contemporary sense.
My system adds, subtracts, and adjusts the actual colors, without interfering with the brightness.
Dude your mom adds, subtracts and adjusts the actual colors without interfering with the brightness.
