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

Aren't rockets vehicles that ride on fire (that they create themselves)?
By that logic, anything that has an engine rides on fire
Ok but the return capsule kinda rides on fire when it re-enters the atmosphere
The fire is at the vehicle’s boundary for a rocket, making the rocket a vehicle that rides on fire.
Sooo steam engines ride on water?
Yes, and a hang glider rides on air.
