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.

I don't have anything like that (to my knowledge) but I've still just never understood how it became acceptable to have multiple letters look the same or very similar.
My money's on lack of foresight and stubborn resistance to change.
That's interesting to hear, my work developed what's supposed to be a very accessible font that is sans serif and I was curious if this actually helped dyslexic people. My one dyslexic friend actually said it is better for them, but people are all different.
Or, AIs who are programmed not to lie will start writing, "Hi, I'm AI," to avoid detection.
"As an Al, I can only provide information I found scribbled on the walls of a public washroom. Or you can watch me Google awkwardly on my phone for a beat. Your choice."
Man if my name was Al, all of my emails would start with "As an Al,"
You can change your name today!
If you'll be my bodyguard, I can be your long lost pal.
I had the opposite when I was a kid. Playing Nightfire on PS2 with my friend adding in "AL" bots as extra players.
He wasn't very happy with me explaining that they are A.I.
Nicknames... In writing?
Aren't they more of a spoken word thing?
Weird AI
Al is here to put all artists out of business...
Some friend's kids came up to me the other day and asked if I knew the guy Weird A.I. who makes funny videos of songs on YouTube. It took me a little while to realise what was going on.
Al has been having thoughts in the shower again
Or they embrace it
