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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I guess fat chance is said sarcastically.
I've never not heard it said sarcastically.
Now, I expect to be down voted.
I don't care, but I'm going to piss a lot of people off.
I say "I could care less".
That's sarcasm. It's what my nineties, heroin chic, grunge music adolescence gave me.
I could care less. It would just require that I make an effort. That's not caring less. That's caring about something.
It's like how the biggest homophobes always seem to be closeted. They care too much.
