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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Dude: numbers are in NUMERICAL ORDER!
Mind. Blown.
Numbers have a logical order. The alphabet is effectively random, but we take this random sequence so seriously we take it as a definition.
"Effectively Random" how? Every culture using a shape to represent a letter sound for more than 2,000 years have structured their sequence.
I. We have given letters a hierarchy since early times. Christ said he was the Alpha and Omega, meaning the beginning and end, as those were the first and last letters in the Greek alphabet. This structure was true then and now.
II. If your argument is that we could have chosen to place the letters in some other sequence, well, we didn't have alphabetical order until we placed the letters in to some sequence. If we "randomly chose" a different sequence, then that sequence would have been our alphabetical order. The Greek Z is Zeta, not Omega.
We use the Phoenician Alphabet, so alphabetical order applies to that sequence, not the Greek Alphabet. They don't end on Zeta.
then that sequence would have been our alphabetical order
That's what I'm saying and that's the whole point. Numbers can't be rearranged like that (bases are interesting).
TL;DR wooooooosh
Woosh indeed.
Not phonetically though.
No, it’s because of the song. Duh.
It's just Twinkle Twinkle Little Star with different lyrics.
¯_(ツ)_/¯ I thought it was funny
I blame Big Dictionary
