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-----

Kids today know what a floppy disk looks like, but not what one is. They only know it as a "save" icon in games and apps.
And the phone call icon being a landline
And the email icon being an envelope
Land lines are nice
A dumpster for spam
businesses still have landlines
Very often they are SIP voip solutions that barely have anything to do with landlines, other than the number pattern and area prefix.
