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

In my time growing up, that was dens. People who had a whole second living room in their house which wasn't to be touched except to dust it because it's the den, for guests. Even when I was the guest.
I have forever had a negative connotation associated with the word "den" as a result. Unless we're talking about non-human animals.
