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

Probably one of the few useful bots ever added to Reddit.
We didn't need a million and one spelling, grammar and whatever other stupid bots the place got infected with. Hopefully Lemmy doesn't end up with them either.
My favorite was the would of/would've bot.
I feel like I haven’t seen a single person use “could of” or “would of” here.
The defense on Reddit was always “NOT EVERY1 ENGLISH FIRST LANGUAGE”
I don’t have the largest sample size, but I’ve never met someone who makes this mistake whose first language isn’t English.
People whose first language isn't English (and especially people who apologize for their English) almost invariably type perfectly, lol
