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.

How do you even make any typos with all the autocorrect nowadays is beyond me.

Autocorrect is the cause of many of my typos

Autocorrect catches all my typos, and for that I’m eternally grapefruit

I personally don't use auto correct for a couple reason, so typos still happen from time to time.

What are the reasons if you don't mind me asking? I write in 3 languages on the same mobile keyboard and it does a fantastic job correcting my spelling.

In my experience as a fellow polyglot, Google's autocorrection is good most of the time, and horribly unusable once in a while. At one point it attempted to correct every single word in a sentence.

My autocorrect on my Galaxy s22+ is actually a detriment to me... It constantly changes "me" to "Mr" or "MT" and dumb shit like that.. I spend more time correcting 'autocorrects' than typing text.. Why is it so bad suddenly??

As someone with dyslexia I definitely still find a way sometimes.
