Looking it up just kinda feels like cheating, y'know? Or at least throwing in the towel.

I always experience a phenomenon in which no matter how hard I wrack my brain trying to think of the thing that's on the tip of my tongue, as soon as I go to look it up or ask somebody, it suddenly comes to my mind right before they tell me the answer.

Happens to me often with wordle. I take a screenshot to send my friend and show her that I'm stuck, and for some reason right after I send it, the answer comes to me.

Yes it happens to you too, isn't it a weird phenomenon??

like I wouldn't be surprised if I could even predict the lottery Powerball numbers a fraction of a second before they are called out LOL

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.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----
