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

Prank calls don't really exist anymore with caller ID and everyone sending unknown numbers to voicemail. (lemm.ee)

I was listening to a Weird Al song about prank calls and realized you can’t really do them anymore now. Also it was funny that he mentioned dialing 7 digit numbers instead of 10

Back then "if it's important they would call". Recently, "they will call back if it's important". Now, "they will leave a message if it's important."

Now is just, “They will text if they are not trying to sell you a warranty extension for your car”

"They will text me why I should pick up"
