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

Our household referred to NES cartridges as "tapes", as well. I think for our family, it came from us frequenting a local video rental store, usually once a week. We'd pick up some movies and some games every time we'd go. It started with just movies, though, because our local store didn't carry games at first. But once we started renting games there, we just kept called everything in the bag "tapes".
