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

I'd imagine lots of professions get this. Basically any ofession with lots of repeated text. I've gotten this a couple times while programming.
Security logs for me. "[hour] performed patrol. All well." Repeated hundreds of times per week .
What are you programming to get this lol
Program a widget builder. Couple days of really focusing you'll realize that widget is a very weird word. WidgetBuilder IsWidget ModifyWidget ect
It doesn't happen much. But in a language with more boilerplate, like Java, it can happen very rarely.
Hmm, been a java dev for over 6 years and have never had that happen :D I can recommend intellisense and Lombok for the boiler plate though.
