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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Depends if you ask a linguist or Alanis Morissette

Glad you caught the reference. Wouldn't it technically be irony in both cases?

Moreso than a traffic jam, when you're already late for work?

Almost as much as 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife.

Sorry for the delay. I won the lottery and died the next day. Ironic.
