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

MODERATORS
If you're up for something, or down for something, it means the same thing.
If you fill in a form or fill out a form, it means the same thing.
English is fucked.
Also try this inflammable table with flammable chairs.
I hate this one, it confuses Dutch people from time to time, so they think “inflammable” means “fire resistant”.
Extra scary when there's only an English-language warning on this
