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
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I got a reply over a day after my initial response on a thread asking if I remembered to change a Firefox setting. And my reply to that even is still getting a bit of upvotes on it.
It's because the hot comment sorting algorithm is different from Reddit's. It favours fresh discussions over older threads even if they have more upvotes.
