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

It's bullshit that the opposite of "impeachable" is "unimpeachable" instead of "peachable"

Well I'll be damned. I've used it as a word regardless, lol, but my spell check still hasn't gotten the memo apparently.

I find this whole conversation whelming.

[–] raynethackery@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

Stay whelmed.

So, would you say you’re more gruntled now?

You’re not fully gruntled till you’re zestfully gruntled.
