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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Actually, this millennium began 2001.
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.
Nice I did not know the fresh prince made an album called Willenium.
