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
- 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)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Maybe it's a US thing? I just tried it and I pronounce them exactly the same.
I don't know, it could be? Another person that isn't a native speaker of English said that they could hear it, but that might just be for the US.
I think I could hear it (am native English speaker from the UK), but it's definitely not how I speak. Both words sound exactly the same when I pronounce them.
