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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Basically I'm sorry that you though I would be sorry for that other thing, but I'm not.

Its ambiguous, but it seems to expresses the speaker regrets not feeling regretful about the topic, as if to acknowledge that one might (and maybe should) sympathize with the other party, but in fact does not.

Depending on the context, it might also merely express that speaker is an asshole.
