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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Y'know the gnome/Guh-nome debate? I intentionally pronounce it Zhnome to fuck with people.
It's jee-nom, pronounced while rotating your eyes
The G and m are silent
It's pronounced djinn-ohm, like Genome. It's a direct reference to magic, Buddhism, and the building blocks of life.
