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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Don't forget that ftp.cdrom.com , the biggest server on the Internet at it's peak, was running on FreeBSD.

I have no idea what the hell that is...

But Netflix runs on some BSD too

It's where you would download your anime and Quake 2 installer twenty years ago.
