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

One time I heard a colleague called the settings/gear icon in Windows a flower. I've also heard somebody refer to the PuTTY icon as "the two penguins"
Are we referring to this icon? Found here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PuTTY
If so I see no resemblance with a penguin at all.
Yep that's the one. It was on the taskbar so significantly smaller than it looks here. I think he thought the lightning bolt was the beaks.
Sometimes late at night I squint my eyes to look at the icon and, for a fleeting moment, I can see two penguins.
So either your friend has terrible eye sight, was high, or is an idiot.
