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

FYI it’s called a “record”, or music could be “on vinyl”. They were never referred to as “vinyls”.
Also VCRs were never called “VHS’s”
I’m an annoying millennial I call em acetates cause I figure what they were called in the 40s or thereabouts is good enough for me see. Now I’m off to my ether frolicking and ice cream social daddy o or watever.
Here in the UK they weren’t often referred to as a VCR, or even a VHS, to be honest. It was always “the video player”. Even if it was a recorder. At least that was my experience.
