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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Hmm, it is similar to a J, and may become the same depending on the speaker, but not necessarily exactly the same
According to the international phonetic alphabet they're the same sound.
Here is the IPA for drink: dɹɪŋk
Here is the IPA for jury: d͡ʒʊɹi
Mainly it's noticeable for spanish speakers because the spanish D is pronounced closer to the english th or is unvoiced depending on where it is in a word.
I think I may have always mispronounced one or both of these then.
Man, English pronunciation, I swear.
