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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

That reminds me that my sixth grade teacher was adamant that 'I am going over Steve's house" meant that one was visiting the house, not flying over it.
I like learning french because it shows me how weird the connections to english are.
"Chez Steve" means "At Steve's [place]". This one is more verbose in english.
But you can say "chez moi" for "at home". And no need to specify which home.
How many homes do you have?
That's exactly my point.
