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

I feel like I haven’t seen a single person use “could of” or “would of” here.

The defense on Reddit was always “NOT EVERY1 ENGLISH FIRST LANGUAGE”

I don’t have the largest sample size, but I’ve never met someone who makes this mistake whose first language isn’t English.

People whose first language isn't English (and especially people who apologize for their English) almost invariably type perfectly, lol
