It’s bullshit that the opposite of “impeachable” is “unimpeachable” instead of “peachable”

To be fair it was a prefix in the Latin word that it’s ultimately derived from. We still treat it a little like a prefix when we use the im- part of the related “import” like a prefix, as we also have “export” and “transport”

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.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct
