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-----

Ask Jeeves already started sucking when they got rid of Jeeves himself. They lost sight of what was important.

Listen here you little shit. Ask jeeves used to be the tits, until Dogpile which was a metasearch of several other indexers. Then a scrappy little startup with a stupid name made everyone else obsolete

With a stupid misspelled name. They wanted googol but misspelled it when registering the domain name.
