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

Also used it to save information to the internet for future people to find if they ever need it.
I just recently I had an issue getting an OLED display driver to work on an esp8266 board, and given that it was a cheap board on a popular sale site I recorded the information so that other people when they are looking for the exact same thing I'm looking for will be able to find it from my post.
I have little to no intention of further referencing that post
If more people did that, we'd be cured of the "found a solution in an old post -> solution is deleted" trend which has woefully plagued the web.
