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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Nobody knows what a gallon/yard/... is outside the USA.
English is super easy.
I don't get your stance on Mm. First you use it for tiny values and say that is stupid. Then you hint that going above 1'000 km the km should not be used anymore. Also, 1'000 km are nothing in terms of vehicles etc., driving that distance in one day is nothing super special. A car does 100s of 1'000 km. Hence my point.
I didn't skip anything, I named some examples to prove or better explain my point.
