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
    • 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Is that why I'm getting downvoted? Tough crowd.

The post is in the positives so I think you're ok. If I had to guess on the downvotes though it's not really a groundbreaking discovery that uni-corn can be broken into two words like that.

28 up 18 down so far!

I always took unicorn as one word, I never thought about the uni part meaning one.
