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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

You have a good memory.

[–] ahto@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

I was gonna call you out on 18 years being way too long ago... Then I realized that 2005 was, in fact, 18 years ago. I feel old now.

It's good to see people's feelings of superiority have carried over from Reddit.

Your weary welkome

[–] Gullible@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

I like never reading “should of”, as well. Every browser and phone’s autocorrect aggressively suggests a correction to “have.” Sometimes you don’t notice an apostrophe appearing in the middle of a word, so I can forgive “it’s,” but there’s little excuse for fighting with autocorrect to write “should of.”

[–] PearlsSwineEtc@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Correct grammar is remarkable; its' place is here!

[–] Xenxs@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Agree, its refreshing to see people bring there best grammar skills.

[–] Noxvento@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Not every lemming is a native speaker.

[–] davconde@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

For real, its not that hard to get it right.

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I don't get it, its not that hard, each word has it's proper grammar and usage.

[–] null_@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Fewer mobile users maybe? For whatever reason, autocorrect/autocomplete suggestions on iOS always tries to add inappropriate apostrophes to plural words. Without fail, every single time. I sometimes reflexively tap the autocomplete suggestion to finish longer words and it’s really aggravating.

[–] nothendev@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

Because there is a higher barrier of entry, people know what they are doing. That's a good thing.

[–] trouser_mouse@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I barely know what website I am on either

[–] PostalDude@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

or there and their

[–] Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Its mind boggling how even native english speakers can't get that right

[–] Dark_Arc@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Is it though? It's almost a pendantic quirk of the written language that things need spelled differently that sound the same.

Like, we ask know what you mean if you say "I was talking to the Johnsons and there cows ran away. Its total madness in this town lately."
