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

Which is a type of pen?
With that logic, pencils are the sharpest pens.
Only for a short time directly after sharpening them
But then you have mechanical pencils
Just because you wouldn't use a Sharpie in those instances doesn't mean it's not a pen. It has other uses. Writing a sign for a shop window, creating a poster by hand, or creating a protest sign. It's used basically anywhere where the text needs to be large, clear, and visible from a distance.
