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

"Telemon" has an even more interesting history. He was a figure in Greek mythology, and generally around people like Hercules, Odysseus, and Jason. He is the son of a king and a mountain nymph.
As you may well know (but others don't) Robert Jordan, when building the world for his Wheel of Time series, pulled from all sorts of existing myths, legends, and memories. After all, it's just another turning of the Wheel, right?
