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

Telling a laptop to shut down is very different from telling it to shut up or just shut. Shutting a laptop doesn't shut it down (at least, not by default).
Shutting it does shut you out though, at least until you unshut it.
Not if it’s plugged into a peripheral hub
Stupid fast boot.
Shutting down a laptop also makes it shut up!
If I close the laptop by lifting the bottom instead of lowering the top, is that also "shutting it up?" 🤔
