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

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

Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers (lemmy.ml)

If you use arch you have to start knitting

And with Gentoo you have to spin your own yarn before the knitting ๐Ÿ˜

And with LFS, you need to breed, raise the sheep and then shear them yourself before you get to spin and knit the socks........

But you can tune the specifications of the yarn to theoretically make the socks up to 2% more comfy. In practice your tuning efforts will make the socks less comfortable and tear more easily.
