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

The reason people are rude about word breakdowns is they assumed you to be a native English speaker, and these should seem obvious.
The internet is full of Americans, unfortunately.
I think it's the native speakers that don't break it down. You just take the word as a word because you learned it so young.
See? This is what happens when I assume you to be non-American. When someone assumes me to be an American, I'm apparently also the wrong one.
