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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I can't describe how much that nonsense drives me up the wall. You have to go out of your way to put that space there and yet there's a non-trivial amount of people who do that. So much effort into wilfully making a mistake, over and over! It's even worse than people who say, "arrive to." And you can't tell me that the clowns doing this don't know what they're doing is wrong. They've definitely seen printed text before, whether it's a book or even just other people's comments, and none of it has that extra space.
