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

Saying you're down to do something means the same thing as saying you're up for it. (discuss.tchncs.de)

"Hey you want some potato chips?"

  • "Potato chip sounds good" => Yes please
  • "I'm good" => No thanks

Messed me up all the time first time came to the US. Why use positive response for rejection?

Saying no is hard in all languages

To me it usually goes like this:

"No."

Or sometimes:

"Nope."

Or when I'm feeling polite:

"No, thanks."
