~~Most~~ many file types are just a renamed .zip

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.

Zipping a file repeatedly typically doesn’t reduce the size further after the first time.
Yeah duoy you [realistically] can't compress compressed data...
Not sure what the original point was but curiously I happened to use
file
on a an Apple.numbers
file recently and found that it was a.zip
file in disguise with zero compression.So maybe the point was that it’s used often as a container format more often than it’s used for compression? Just my (unrelated) general computer work would also suggest this.
