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

Reminds me of how everyone is now misusing the term "ROM" to mean "Storage" when it actually means "Read-Only Memory". Drives me nuts every time I see it in advertising.
It's funny to me that things like EEPROM are considered ROM. Like, ok, I can write to it? Read only, huh?
