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

Dial tone still exists. Pretty much every business phone that’s most likely a VoIP line still generates dial tone to the user’s headset.
That’s just sparkling doot
Man, reading this sentence felt like a little electric jolt to the brain as it pieced the memes together.
Indeed, but most people will not hear it anymore as they don't use business phones, same as ordinary landline phones
You can pick up a payphone anywhere that still has them and most of them will play a dial tone, though those are starting to dwindle.
