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.

Using Ubuntu may give off hipster vibes to the average PC user, but within the Linux community its has the opposite effect. (slrpnk.net)

m8 linux is not for the sort of person who gets panicked about options in the first place, there's an alarming disconnect in this trend towards pretending it's just linux's reputation for complexity that puts people off. There are people in this very thread who don't even recognize that apple is fascist hipster bullshit and almost noone who understands why. What's more, I once heard a grown woman argue she shouldn't have a different opinion than her parents because if it was good enough for them it should be good enough for her. People are fucking monkeys, mate. If linux ever hits 10% market share I'll be amazed. Hell, 5 is a stretch...
