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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Should be like figure skating judging.
We rank each canditate out of a possible ten points. Throw out the top 1% and the lowest 1% and then total.
Why would you throw out the top 1%?
In figure skating judging for the Olympics, they would throw out the top and bottom scores to eliminate any country-based biases against competitors.
