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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's not really that I interpret it in another way, but I never really thought about the structure of the word 😅
I’ve had similar realizations about words like “across” and “again”.
I get "across", but what about again?
“A gain” as in one more. Gain meaning “an increase in amount”
