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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

std
because "ess tee dee" would have been awkward.Well fsck that.
I like pronouncing numpy so that it rhymes with lumpy just to make people uncomfortable.
That's how I've always read it...
Lol at my job someone referred to "E T C" and I was completely baffled until he actually typed it out, /etc... I just call it "ets" because it's short for "et cetera"...
