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
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I Spanish, the Real academia de la lengua is often used incorrectly by people as a prescriptive reference but what they really do is gather the common usages and incorporate them into the language. It's like a descriptive record of language.
German has a standard dictionary, the Duden, which fulfils the same role and is frequently (mis)used the same way. People don't like ambiguity.
