What if I say "um" somewhere because I lost my place?
Then it's your fault for not saying "uh" instead!
that's one hell of a water bill if you were in the shower counting to one million.
Not if you count using a logarithmic base 10 scale!
Just yell 10! and you've counted way further already
En, to, tre, fire, fem.
1000000 / 5 = 200000
Here's the proof that Danish is 200.000 times better than English.
In romanian, it ends at 4. Romanian is 25% better than dutch and 250000 times better than english
they do if u kiss me
They do if you kiss yourself in the mirror, but only on the lips
You can only kiss your lips in the mirror
Wise man once said.
Another thought to disturb restful slumber, especially if you are vain: in a mirror you can kiss yourself only on the lips.
And then they touch for every number until 1 trillion
Oh shiiit thats trippy!
Unless I do it in my native language, Finnish. Then I'll only get to three.
Mine touch at pebenty peben.
and how high did OP have to count before he touched somebody else's lips the first time?
what about thirmty three
Un deux trois... Mille ! In French (France 🇫🇷) 1000 before lips touch.
... Soixante-neuf, septante ! In French (Switzerland 🇨🇭) 70! (in France it's soixante-dix 😂)
How to say 90 in Swiss French? In French French the (40x2+10) way drives me crazy
Nonante!
And 80 is octante or huitante depending on the region
It is a little simpler than this base20 thing lol
Nah, definitely happens at 300 with 三百
Edit: in japanese, but I didn't list my language since OP didn't bother.
Joke's on you, I'm Roman.
My lips already touch at 𝕄.
One point five.. d'oh!
π
forget what number you're on and say, "um".
Mine touch at sebbin.
Un, dau, tri, pedwar. Nope, they touch at what you call four.
Just counted out loud, one....lips touched.
That’s what I thought too, but if you google it, w sound is classified as “open mouth” sound by the experts. To me it feels like lips vibrating as sound and breath come through (lips open/close/open as they vibrate).
screw googling. try saying it yourself without touching lips.
it comes out as "oen".
This is my favourite shower thought post so far.
I love this! It doesn't seem like it could possibly be true, but my 30 seconds of testing haven't debunked it.
In a lot of Indo-European languages you're stopping right at 5, *pénkʷe. For example Greek (πέντε pénte) and Sanskrit (पञ्चन् páñcan).
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:
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.
