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

Because cool is pretty much the equivalent of lukewarm word for cold

hot warm lukewarm
cold cool ???

Cool isn't the lukewarm word for cold, cool is the warm word for cold.

Oh well, then I'll invent the word lukecool and now everything is okay.

I was gonna say "clookewarm" until I realized I modified the wrong part.

It's too late for me to be on the internet.
