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.

It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology's problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

If anyone is offended by this CS term - you are a certified soyflake.

Looking at your self-description in your profile, you don't seem like the type to be a raging MAGA idiot, but saying things like "soyflake" really makes you sounds like one.

Whatever you say. I hate it when people get offended by the most irrelevant things, and the word "soyflake" seems perfect for those kinds of people. My invention btw - it's a combo of soy and snowflake that just came to me as I was writing the above comment. Also, I don't really like Trump. But I also don't like Harris even more. Trump is also friendlier to crypto. Harris leans way too much into Marxist ideas for my taste and also I hate wars and the deep state (which is more related to the left than the right). But don't get me wrong, I also hate hyper-religious MAGA low-IQ hillbillys. I REALLY, REALLY like Elon tho. And I like how he is fighting the obvious left-wing bias we have in cyberspace. I'm a neurospicy guy with spicy multidimensional beliefs. Hate me, but that's how I am, at least for the moment. I'm fairly fluid when it comes to my beliefs. I'm for example pretty deep into a conspiracy arc atm, but that might change.

Elon is s Nazi. He'd probably have you euthanized if he could.
