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

Would that be true if I'm just saying the word in my head though? I think there's a case for that since I'm probably thinking of the word in the context of a sentence (any sentence) when I say it in my head.
What about “there’s” vs “theirs”? Those would tend to have the opposite stress pattern.
I think I still stress there's because it's got that missing i. I go lighter on the theirs.
