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

The best one I saw was someone going for a job with a company that uses a particular platform stack. He didn't get the job with the company saying you don't have enough experience with said platform.
Except he wrote the platform.

Never heard of this one tbh. The creator of homebrew was rejected at Google when he failed to implement a basic algorithm. The people interviewing him were using the software he wrote. But tbf, if you're applying at Google they expect you to be able to invert a binary tree
