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

Spiders usually do it in reverse. They tether themselves to what they are on then "let go" and let the wind take them, with their tether being a lifeline so they don't go too fast and in case they don't get anywhere, then they can just go back to where they came from.
And then you run into all these travel webs when you walk your dog at night, and get to wonder if you have a spider somewhere in your clothes or hair, just waiting for the right moment to scare the every-loving shit out of you.
