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
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 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-----

According to the ancient Greeks, we would be bar-bars.
Barbarians?
Yes! "The Greeks used the term barbarian for all non-Greek-speaking people, including the Egyptians, Persians, Medes and Phoenicians, emphasizing their otherness. According to Greek writers, this was because the language they spoke sounded to Greeks like gibberish represented by the sounds "bar..bar..;" the alleged root of the word bárbaros, which is an echomimetic or onomatopoeic word."
Wow. So even thousands of years ago humans were racist assholes demeaning others for speaking a different language.
See America? You're not special.
"But you yadda-yadda'd the best part!"
"No; I mentioned the bisque."
"Who hasn't yadda-yadda'd sex?"

I'd say it's more of a Bwaahh
Blah blah was the first thing my second kid said, so checks out
Hasn't even spoken a word, and already sick of how much everybody else talks. Your kid is either going to be a president, or a serial killer.
Waah-wah-wah-wah-Waaah, à la Charlie Brown adults.
Non main character humans would be rhubarb-rhubarbs.
Or you could use the word we use most
A fuck-fuck
