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

Filling in a form is the same thing as filling out a form.
Being "up for" something is the same as being "down with" something.
"You're shit" and "you ain't shit" mean the same thing.
"Giving in" and "giving out" sometimes mean the same thing.
English is a delightful mess of redundancy and contradictions.
"You're the shit" means the opposite of "you're shit" and "you ain't shit"
"I'm cooking" and "I'm cooked" are also total opposites.
