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

This is why I never understood the confusion with which spelling to use. Just say it in your head.

You should use the proper spelling. Pronunciation does not equal meaning when reading.

Exactly...

Oh you're agreeing with me! I thought your optional point was arguing against.
