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

It’s bullshit that “colonel” is pronounced with an R sound, but “kernel” isn’t pronounced with an “olo” sound.

The existence of “amused” implies the existence of “bimused”, “homomused”, “panmused” and possibly even more

The most consistent thing about English is how inconsistent it is!

Which is to be expected when you have a Germanic language that is so heavily influenced by Latin languages.

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
