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

Apples should be like astronauts...they are grouped in the bushel based on performance (quality, not being rotten).
If detection slips, or one is massively damaged during handling or a pest sneaks in, the group is fouled. It should not be a normal distribution but a heavily filtered one.
"One bad apple spoils the bunch" because if one rots, it emits a waste gas that accelerates spoiling of nearby apples
