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

When you say something is “red” it’s actually every color except red since red is the color being reflected off the object. (discuss.tchncs.de)

When we say something is a certain color, we're talking about the color reflecting off of it. It's color is the color that actually reaches our eyes.
