Showerthoughts

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-----

It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology's problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

A long time ago, in a job not so far away, I worked on a computer project where we were using Apache Jackrabbit.

I quickly learned that I needed to search for Apache Jackrabbit and not just Jackrabbit -- vibrators weren't relevant to the project.

Stop discriminating then, see the sexiness in the servers, the horniness in the harddrive.

After all why call it a hard drive if it doesn't make you hard
