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-----

To be fair, English has a bit of that too if you look at the first 20 digits
One, two, three... Eleven, twelve, thirteen... Twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three... Thirty-one, thirty-two, thirty-three...
If English was fully decimal the teens would simply be "Onety-one, onety-two, onety-three" but it's not because fuck following conventions!
If you say onety one again we’re gonna have problems
