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-----

What about the kids?
Great idea! That's another couple of accounts you can open up, and maybe even a few credit lines when both the parents have used theirs up.
Kidding obviously, because this place gets pretty rough sometimes.
I mainly ask, because when I worked in an armory there was a dude named 'GonzalezLamas-Suarez' whose name I had to handwrite on a very small line every single time I signed him out gear. It was the smallest font I'd ever seen on a uniform before.
Same for my brother ha. His superiors actually just shorten it to one word when talking to him if it isn't super official.
Then you have those weird ones like "de Jesus" where it just doesn't make sense to be to have a preposition as part of your last name.
