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

Wait until you learn the news is new.
In French, it's also the same origin (nouvelles = news; nouvelle/nouveau = new)
Damnit someone just last week told me it was an acronym for notable events weather and sports but this makes more sense
A good rule of thumb is that any word etymology that is an acronym is probably false if the word is more than 100 years old.
