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
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Shut the door, or close the window. Which came first, Doors or Windows?.. ๐ค
Depends. If a room just has a hole in the wall, is it still a doorway?
No, that's the urinal silly!
So if I just kick a hole in a wall at a friends house, it's ok to pee into it as well?
Doors and corners kid
