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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

The nerds haven't hung out at best buys in years. They're a glorified appliance store now.
Last time I went into one for a computer part, they had 3 colors of the same case fan and two different GPUs, and that was it.
Now MicroCenter, that's where it's at.
Where is there one? I know of one north of Atlanta and one in Dallas. There just ain’t one in Washington
There's 1 in most major cities. I love Micro Center to death, but I sincerely doubt that most Americans live within 20 or 30 minutes of one.
Yeah, west coast is a bit barren for micro center. One in LA, one in SF (when they open). I have 3 in my state (Ohio) but their headquarters is also here so shrug
Ah, right, Best Buy was the Geek Squad. That's who would be hanging out there.
