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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

What is this metric shit? I'm an American! I measure weight in American units like the hundredweight and the truss and the slug!

You say that like there's a problem. It's twenty three ox-marmots to the elephant-giraffe.

My car gets forty rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it.
