I really hope they adopt this. Not just for tech. To me, the world would become a little bit more interesting with a payment card called a DomCard™ in it.

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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 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-----

I renamed our blacklist to the blocklist and not one person noticed.
And the w…list?
"Allow List"
No colors needed lol
This also works for binary cable or interface connectors formerly known as "male" and "female".
Not more wokism! Next they'll be demanding we stop talking about executing a child!
I prefer to use Main/Sub terminology. It also works without needing to change any acronyms.
Us weebs can use uke and seme.
all I read is "ukulele semen"
It's not so different, and could involve semen!
