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

more than? how?
The apple shape is pretty indicative for me.
I think they mean that the sticker makes it stand out, putting the model/brand into your conscious mind. If a Macbook is displayed normally onscreen, it is just some prop that you might not pay any additional attention to at all. Sure, you unconsciously know that it is an Apple product, but that fact is not at the front of your mind at all. With the Apple logo covered, you still know that it is an Apple product all the same, but you are actually consciously thinking about fact.
It's because Apple products are instantly recognizable but the logo gets covered up in media for legal reasons. A big BBC sticker on the back of a macbook just makes it even more obvious that it's a macbook because it draws the eye to it and often the light bleeds through the thin stickers anyway
