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

The internet used to be where you found the latest information. But it's old enough that you could easily find info on 10-20 year old articles that are out of date and irrelevant

Worse, many articles do not have the year in the date. What the hell is up with that?

and many have a recent date on old, even totally obsolete, articles or posts.

I get entirely too annoyed about both cases.
