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

Facebook's shitty search ability, retribution against reddit, photobucket's apocalypse, dozens of site rebrandings, and the death of hundreds of other popular sites has proven posts on the internet are as temporary as paper. It only lasts if someone properly archives it, just as was the case with those 1919 newspaper articles.
Yeah, whoever said whatever you post on the internet is there forever was SO wrong. Want to find stuff from 2008 even? Yeah good luck
