Showerthoughts

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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

Elder waitresses should be called something else, like waitrons or waitriarchs.

And a group of servers is called a kubernetes.

I thought about that, but I didn't think that got the joke across as well. Probably overthought it but 🤷‍♂️

I doubt many people outside of IT know what Kubernetes is 😅. At least with "Cluster" you get a "Why?" Instead of "What?".

Right, but at least for now that's most of the demographic on Lemmy.

Academically perhaps. In the field it's colloquially called a "hospitality night".
