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.

No need to be so hostile over a simple mix up bud.

Consider your opening comment:

This is very clearly incorrect.

Let A = 10 and B = C = D = 1.

Hostile and zero explanation.

10 - 1 + 1 = 10 - 1 - 1 or 8 = 8

You need to relearn arithmetic.

Again, hostile and zero explanation.

Elaborate

10 - 1 + 1 = 10

Again, zero explanation.

This isn’t helpful when my error was misremembering how to use the order of operations while showering. You should work on your communication skills before trying to correct my faulty math equations in the future.

This is me explaining to you that you aren't being helpful, and should work on your communication skills because you have been hostile and unhelpful since start, while also admitting that I had made an error.

Piss off and learn 2nd grade math.

No need to be so hostile over a simple mix up bud.

You continuing to be hostile, me continuing to point it out.

Was I thorough enough for your liking?
