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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

The butterfly from The Last Unicorn told us this.

Is that why I'm getting downvoted? Tough crowd.

The post is in the positives so I think you're ok. If I had to guess on the downvotes though it's not really a groundbreaking discovery that uni-corn can be broken into two words like that.

28 up 18 down so far!

I always took unicorn as one word, I never thought about the uni part meaning one.
