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.

10 years ago, a person would be insulted for filming a video in portrait instead of landscape. Now, old landscape videos are being cropped and resized to fit in a portrait player. (lemmy.world)

I started filming in 1:1 ratio. Sorta best of both worlds

Back to 4:3!

Honestly I never understood why it lost popularity. Sure a small 4:3 doesn't make sense but it would be fine scaled up.

Very little devices are 4:3 still. Not phones out tvs.

The vast majority of cameras are 4:3, however.
