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.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Seriously, I can't believe people try to say its not really the south. Like its literally the furthest south you can go in the US.
It's like Austria. Sure, technically they're German, but they're their own thing
"Austria is German(y)" was pushed by a very specific group for a very specific purpose.
The word you want is Germanic. There is a very important distinction between the national and ethnic or cultural terms here.
Thank you, seriously wasn't trying to make fascist arguments, I promise. Just trying to make a comparison and why certain things can't always be grouped together
Goddamn don't let Austrians hear you just called them German
Hawaii would like a word.
Please, they are like middle earth.
And Puerto Rico would also
are they a state or not though.
They're solid in my book.
yeah but are they the most southern part of the US
Wooooosh
so you just ignore the "Show context" button then?
Their state is solid, versus liquid, gas, or plasma.
But yeah, I get ya. You could be simply skipping my dogshit joke to get to the meat of your question. I don't know their lat and Google is too far.
yeah I mean, the joke gets old after awhile.
k
US VI and Guam would now like a word as well.
Hey now, we have to have a US III, IV, and V, before we get to VI.
