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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Ha!

We should also have a c/LemmyAskYouSomethinRick because that popped into my head when I saw this.

Okay, serious question... Is lemmy supposed to be pronounced like the contraction of let+me? I've been pronouncing it like... Limb+E.

No, you're correct. The software was named after the small rodent (lemming). One of the co-creators of lemmy talks about the name here: https://lemmy.ml/post/70319

It's just that "lemmy" sounds like you're saying "let me" quickly and not enunciating properly.
