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
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) 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

“Guys” is an ungendered word. Has been since the 80’s (and likely well before): https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/19074/what-is-a-feminine-version-of-guys
People who are into pronouns and all that crap really need to do more research.
The same night my mom died, so did my pride and that small clock near the door.
What’s your point flipping words?
I guarantee you that when most people think of a "guy", they aren't thinking of a woman. This is the same argument as "mailman is gender-neutral".
"so you fuck guys?"
