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

I don't know if this is weird, but someone told me I say "ideology" weird because I say "id-ee-aa-luh-jee" instead of "ai-dee-aa-luh-jee", and I still never changed the pronunciation anyway.
That's just the French pronunciation
I had a coworker once try to tell me I pronounced nihilism wrong - I say it nee... he claimed nye... was correct. He made such a a stink about it, actually yelling at me, that other coworkers were gathering around hoping for a fight... Somebody had a dictionary, so I looked it up, and of course both are listed as correct. He then moved the goalposts saying his way was "more" correct... but I got the last word - "I DON'T CARE!"
