Showerthoughts

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Feel like this post was just a reason to say one- and zero-index.

Fuck it, we're two-indexing now.

Unfortunately zero-indexed Mondays are the only sane way to live life…

You beat me to it by mere moments

It's from Tyr, the Norse god. Originally closer to Tyr's day, hence the odd spelling relative to the pronunciation.

Likewise we have (W)Odin's Day, Thor's Day, Frigg's Day, and Saturn-Day. Of course there's also the Sun's day and the Moon's day.

What if you use the duodecimal system?

I don't know what library books have to do with any of this.

I get my calendars from the library. We're not all made of money.
