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.

- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

You lot? I use you lot in place of y'all, because I can't bring myself to contract you and all together.
That sounds rude, though. Like "you people".
Right?? I kept asking friends and family if that's too rude, and they assured me that it wasn't, so I kept using it. I guess it might be on tone of voice, too.
It's not rude. I say youse.
Y'lot
Hahaha!!! That's a good one! I'm gonna start using that!
I think that's a British way of saying it, if I'm not mistaken
We have quite a few actually, "you lot", "yous", "cunts" etc.
I believe you're correct. I picked it up from some Aussie and Britt friends about a decade ago.
Y'all just feels more all encompassing where as you lot sounds to me like a limited number of people.
