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

No, the way people say it makes it obvious that it's a set phrase. Like in Japanese they say "tadaima" and people reply "okaeri" and you just know that it's a thing and don't question it much. It's until much later when people point it out that you go, ohh yeahhh.
