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.

Probably one of the few useful bots ever added to Reddit.

We didn't need a million and one spelling, grammar and whatever other stupid bots the place got infected with. Hopefully Lemmy doesn't end up with them either.

Personally, I think the grammar bots fit right into Reddit culture.

Everyone is a smarty-pants on Reddit!

I do hope that people respect the instance hosts and go easy on the trivial bots when it comes to Lemmy though.

I didn't mind the fact that it was there, I was always just annoyed at how useless the memory hints were. Like yeah, of course I could spell "neither" if I just remember the e comes before the i... that's the problem.

It's like saying "if you want to be rich just get more money" or "NASCAR is easy cuz it's all left turns"

I after E, except after C; when it sounds like "ee".

....or when sounded like "ay" as in "neighbor" or "weigh".

Actually, let me double check that with my foreign buddies Keith and Heidi, they've got eight children who are all cops and busted a major counterfeit heist the other day. Weird, right?
