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

You don't know how many times that fox jumped.

I mean, the order of the letters matter, and so does the frequency. You can spell "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" without spelling "asshole"

And so does the position. Either you arbitrarily change the rules of how words are being formed, or you don't.

And you can't spell "slaughter" without "laughter." So what's your point?

You should change your diet.

And you can't spell unfortunate without tuna. But not every problem is caused by canned fish.
