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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
The word 'monosyllabic' isn't monosyllabic.
The word 'alphabetic' isn't alphabetic.
The word 'palindrome' isn't a palindrome.
Those are all heterological words, just like "phonetic".
Autological (or homological) would be words like "pentasyllabic", "unhyphenated" and "writable.".
Does the word heterological describe itself?
Uffff, right in my autism.
Luckily the internet helps with that.

Tldr "does the set of all sets contain itself?"
Haha, I'm sorry. It was definitely a set-up.

That was the answer to the question.
God deleted it.
