The internet sure has grown. Some day it'll be too big to even fit inside OP's mom.

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.

- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique

Got em!
OP's mom's pussy is so big, Thanos had to snap twice.
I'd clap twice
There was a time it would’ve fit on a floppy
This is really nonsensical. It could fit on a piece of paper in font size 8 if you go back far enough and "stretch" the definition of Internet.
Not true. The first document on the internet was, in fact, 7 pages in 8pt font.
It was the New Purchase brochure from a Packard Bell 286 4MHz from Circuit City transcribed into .doc format.
Yeah, but if you wrote really small on a note card you could have used the entire internet on a test!
And were all 7 of those pages uploaded at the same time? Ha, gotchu now! (But for real, is .doc that old?)
According to wikipedia, "Microsoft has used the extension since 1983."
Lol, no idea
First spam
“Congratulations on buying a Packard Bell computer. Would you like to register me?”
Anyone remember that offline Wikipedia reader that had the whole text of English wiki on it? I always thought it was neat.
You can still download an archive of Wikipedia today, and it's smaller than you'd expect
How big do I expect it to be?
At least twelve megabytes. Probably even more.
Bigger than it actually is
No, but i do remember Microsoft Encarta 98

The unmatched power of the sun, even?

Back in like 2005 or 2006, I remember posting an article to Fark about a company that wanted to make a laptop that had the entire internet cached on it so you could browse the web offline. That was almost 20 years ago and I remember saying "they have seriously underestimated the amount of porn on the internet."
The entirety of the internet on my toilet.
One single html page? I guess, yes.
The internet or the world wide web?
🤯
Get rid of videos and we probably still could.
Wikipedia is ridiculously small
This is not a shower thought
No it wouldn't since it wasn't made at thr time.
English not your first language? No worries, see the "would have"? That phrase signifies a hypothetical - I'll leave you to ponder what hypothetical situation could be meant in this particular case, but spoiler: it involves comparing features of things that were constructed in different time frames.
Why don't you go figure out what a shower thought is before berating this guy.
No it doesn't
