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
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's also a good substitute for "you guys"
It's a contraction of "you" and "all." It was never a gendered phrase to start with.
“Guys” is an ungendered word. Has been since the 80’s (and likely well before): https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/19074/what-is-a-feminine-version-of-guys
People who are into pronouns and all that crap really need to do more research.
I banged 10 guys last night
The same night my mom died, so did my pride and that small clock near the door.
What’s your point flipping words?
I guarantee you that when most people think of a "guy", they aren't thinking of a woman. This is the same argument as "mailman is gender-neutral".
"so you fuck guys?"
Or in New Jersey, "youse guys"
