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. Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
  6. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

True, but all bananas are clones and have almost no genetic diversity and are all susceptible to the same diseases.
