It's also a good substitute for "you guys"
Showerthoughts
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 most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.
I actually have been using y'all in this manner for about a decade. I found some women didn't appreciate being called "you guys" when I addressed a group of people.
If y'all spent as much time and energy on useless pronouns as y'all spent on advocating for universal healthcare, y'all could have gotten that last doctor visit paid for by y'alls gob'ment and not having to dip into y'alls savings.
Y'all need to check your priorities.
I find it’s also singular and plural.
The definition of woke: “the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.”
-Ron DeSantis chief counsel
Anyone that would argue woke is bad is a racist, sexist, bigot
You lot? I use you lot in place of y'all, because I can't bring myself to contract you and all together.
Checkmate, nobody
OK then when you get out of the shower you go
oh, duh, only third person singular pronouns are ever gendered in English. why would I ever think a second person pronoun would be gendered?
Shit, if ungendered pronouns make it woke, then I should ditch my native language.
English is the wokest language. In Spanish, all nouns are gendered. That means when Trump wanted to build a wall, he was actually being woke AF.
