Y'know the gnome/Guh-nome debate? I intentionally pronounce it Zhnome to fuck with people.

It's jee-nom, pronounced while rotating your eyes

Also remember to pronounce KDE as "kdeeh" instead of spelling it

It's pronounced djinn-ohm, like Genome. It's a direct reference to magic, Buddhism, and the building blocks of life.

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.
