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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Some of those spam fighters did this, emulating an old bumbling man who avoided any "yes" like answers that could be malinterpreted as consent to anything, and kept the caller busy for many minutes with pauses, uncommitted "Hmms", and useless questions. But I doubt that this program is available anywhere.
That sounds like Lenny and it's awesome.
Jolly Roger Telephone Co has some great ones too.
