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.

What happens when two people with hyphenated last names get married? Do they hyphenate all four names and in what order? (lemmy.world)

Great idea! That's another couple of accounts you can open up, and maybe even a few credit lines when both the parents have used theirs up.

Kidding obviously, because this place gets pretty rough sometimes.

I mainly ask, because when I worked in an armory there was a dude named 'GonzalezLamas-Suarez' whose name I had to handwrite on a very small line every single time I signed him out gear. It was the smallest font I'd ever seen on a uniform before.

Then you have those weird ones like "de Jesus" where it just doesn't make sense to be to have a preposition as part of your last name.

Same for my brother ha. His superiors actually just shorten it to one word when talking to him if it isn't super official.
