Except "luna" is latin for "Moon", which means that in many neolatin languages the problem is still there. Probably Selene would be good for every language, She's the whatever goddess of the whateverness of our Moon or whatever

Except when Latin was spoken actively there was only one such body with the name “Luna”, so it’s a proper noun.

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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
