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
    • 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

And if my grandma had wheels she’d have been a bicycle

My grandma had wheels. She had both a car, AND a walker.

I used to have one like that as well, most baffling design decision I've ever seen

Edit: Clarification:

I'm not down with all this fancy technology.

My microwave has a dial and some cogs and that's about as far as I'm prepared to go. An added bonus is that I don't get blinded whenever walking into the kitchen in the middle of the night
