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 prevalence of touchscreens has probably resulted in a decrease in average fingernail length (self.showerthoughts)

I feel like I used to see a lot of women with super long nails struggling to use their touchscreen phones. I'm sure at least some of them have chosen slightly shorter nails to make it easier.

No idea; does autocorrect even exist in an inbuilt fashion on Windows? I've never really tried using anything like that.

Oh, and here's a one-off test I just did without autocorrection turned on. With a few more tries, I'm sure I could get up to 100+.
