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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

Adding onto this twins born near midnight around 1999 to 2000 could be born in different milleniums.

TIL they never had a year 0. So the whole damn calendar is an off by one error 🤯

That’s why we have ISO 8601.

Seems easier to be like everyone else and just say it starts at 0 and just accept the first millennium is missing a year.

Wow I learned something new. I had to search it after reading your comment and it is indeed 2001. https://www.timeanddate.com/counters/mil2000.html

Yeah, most people get it confused with the Willenium which did end in 1999.
