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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Telling a laptop to shut down is very different from telling it to shut up or just shut. Shutting a laptop doesn't shut it down (at least, not by default).

Shutting it does shut you out though, at least until you unshut it.

Not if it’s plugged into a peripheral hub
