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 most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Just based on how often I notice someone mispronounce a word without realizing it (or have done so myself and realized it later). Statistically I'm probably still doing it with some word.

What's the grammatical rule for using 4 l's in a row? Ma gawd what a mess

Perfectly cromulent in Welsh.

According to this song, you pronounce like trying to cough up some phlegm that's gotten stuck in your throat. I can only assume that their history of coal mining has affected the language.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

According to this song

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

4 l’s in a row

That’s basically how you spell “yellow” in 22nd century Spanglish

Not Welsh, but I think it’s a compound with successive elements ending and starting with ll

Exactly what I found, it makes sense and is just a large contracted description of the town, specifically made to be as long as possible!
