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.

Hey what's the difference between put and putt?
Putt is shorthand for "put and only put".
Verbose HTTP is looking great.
As opposed to "put and do something else"?
No get! Only put
Phonetically, put: /pʊt/ vs. putt: /pʌt/
ʊ is the sound from words like "book", "hook", "pull" or "should.
ʌ is the sound from words like "gut", "double", "butter", "luck", etc.
Thanks! Yes it's weird. Cut and put sound tutally different wile cut and putt are pronounced the same
Put is something you do to something (I will put this down), putt is a technique in golf (watch me land this putt).
Thanks!
