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

Enough rhymes with buff Through with do Thorough with... Actually very little in my accent. Burqa, maybe? The last syllable has a schwa vowel for me Plough with cow Though with crow Hiccough with cup Trough with scoff Hough with frock
(for me)
Depending on where you live, thorough is pronounced “thur-oh” and hiccough is spelled “hiccup”.
Ahh, yes! I had meant to add something like "in my English" but then I get so thrown off by bei g unable to think of a rhyme for "thorough" that I forgot
