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

First people to colonize her get to name her. Maybe by 2050 we'll have a nice moon base, and whoever is up there will start affectionately referring to the station and surface as something, and at that point, she'll finally have her name.

Possibly. Better be more poignant than "Alpha".
