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

m8 linux is not for the sort of person who gets panicked about options in the first place, there's an alarming disconnect in this trend towards pretending it's just linux's reputation for complexity that puts people off. There are people in this very thread who don't even recognize that apple is fascist hipster bullshit and almost noone who understands why. What's more, I once heard a grown woman argue she shouldn't have a different opinion than her parents because if it was good enough for them it should be good enough for her. People are fucking monkeys, mate. If linux ever hits 10% market share I'll be amazed. Hell, 5 is a stretch...
