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

Not really. The "file types" you're talking about are expected to contain whatever things in a very specific format.
You're really just saying "many file types use an efficient and common compression algorithm". Which is correct, obvious, and to be expected.
A .docx is just a zip file with xml documents in it.
What happens if I put an mp3 or an epub file in there with the xml? Is it still a word document?
