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

Back in 2006 I had a website for a comedy project I was working on at the time. I had a menu on the side of the page. The menu was a whiskey bottle. Each of the links was 2 images. When you didn't hover your mouse over it, it was a tan background with a black text (to immitate the look of a Jack Danials bottle), but when you hovered over any text, the black text turned blue. So signify "you're highlighting this option".
I needed some text with limited amount of space to link to socialmedia.htm All the page did was link to the facebook, the myspace, and the twitter of the group. So I did the best logical thing. I made the text say "MyTwitFace". Which still makes me laugh, although it no longer makes sense.
