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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

The word movie is probably only about 100 years old, yet incredibly ingrained into our culture. (lemmy.world)

Do they....?

I'll be honest, I haven't heard anyone say that ever when using a phone.

Maybe "videos" as a verb but generally "records" in my experience

They were joking...

What makes you think that?

Because no one ever said this.

In a thread about a word being ingrained in our culture, where's the joke in claiming another word is also ingrained in our culture?

I may be wrong, but it seemed pretty sincere to me.
