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

Pointing out that people are saying something too much isn't irony.
"The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning." - irony
It's not the"pointing out" that makes it ironic... It's the popularity of the post running counter with your underlying argument in the past that makes it's ironic.
