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

My grandmother had this quirk where she'd start reaching for names of people she knew because she just couldn't remember your name right then. I like to think her brain was buffering.
They'd usually be in the vicinity of each other, like my brother or father's name, but sometimes she'd be way out there with a cousin or the neighbour.
I tell you though, it didn't feel great when she looked right at me and called me by the family dogs' names before she got to mine lol
