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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Depends if you ask a linguist or Alanis Morissette

Glad you caught the reference. Wouldn't it technically be irony in both cases?

Moreso than a traffic jam, when you're already late for work?

Almost as much as 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife.

Sorry for the delay. I won the lottery and died the next day. Ironic.
