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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Yeah no way hose. Changing the name here would be admitting to myself that it was a stupid nickname back then. I mean, i know it was a stupid nickname but admitting it is a step too far.

May I mention that "hose" most likely should be "Jose" spoken with a Spanish pronunciation?

I love seeing when folks type out an idiom they've only ever spoken and you get weird quirks like this. Language is fun

The epittamy of fun, you might say

May I mention that I've never heard "Jose" spoken without a Spanish pronunciation? Does anyone say it to rhyme with chose or dose?

Interesting. I thought he was trying to say No way, Hoss.

Yeah and it's not like you won't think your new original cool username is fresh af for more that 2 weeks. You'll look back and it will be equally cringy as the old one but now you have to live with the shame that you tried to be more creative.
