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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Loose rhymes with noose. I can't think of a word that's spelled and pronounced like lose so you have me there.

Words pronounced like lose? That's easy. Close

Close is way closer to clothes than it is to lose. And close is more like gross.

I was joking, close would only be pronounced similar to lose if it were spelled clues.

Lose rhymes with clues, not close.

Edit: I just noticed your reply

No worries, it was just used to point out the premise of the post. Lose and close were the closest in spelling while also having the dumb pun included if you will. Bad jokes get downvoted or overlooked sometimes ๐Ÿคท
