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

I could see it making sense in combination with a "you can't get there from here" type of situation. Someone asks, "Where is ____?" and the response is "over yonder as the crow flies", because it is literally in that direction, but since there are no direct roads to actually get there you must travel in a different direction first, which is why "as the crow flies" needs to be specified.
