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

Take a .docx file, using 7-zip, exctract it.

You will get an entire folder structure with several files inside the .docx file.

What OP means is that several programs use a zip file as a container for all the stuff they need in a save file.

The file extention is just a name for the OS to find the proper program to open the file.
