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.

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

Ok, so given that memory is error prone, value makes more sense than reference, because errors of reference would be more errory.
That makes assumptions about how the referred-to stuff is arranged. It assumes no organization. That memories about lunch would be kept right next to the Chemistry lessons.
So, to step away from that assumption, maybe memory-components are more organized. Gradients of meaning, say.
And maybe memory-components are less chunky. Instead of a memory of lunch, it's memory of sandwich, table and chewing, arranged appropriately in the referencing data.
