Nice! I'm going to have a look at my old HS yearbook and see who's opposite page...

Man, that's deep. About to go to bed as that was the last thing I read. Gonna be tossing and turning bc of it.

More like rubbing their faces against each other, unless they took the picture planning for a well positioned kiss.

Haven't you heard? Every country has year books and OP isn't leaving the rest of the world out!

I don't know anywhere else they're used, but in the US at the end of a "high school" year everyone gets their picture taken and they can put in a quote below their picture, this is then put in a book with the pictures laid out in a grid pattern.

This means that when you go to another page or close the books, the pictures on the other page touch and kiss!?!? No idea why the US would ever allow pictures with minors kissing but who knows.

Ah, American defaultism strikes again!

[-] Kedly@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

In this case its at least NORTH American since Canadian schools do yearbooks as well

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Do you do class rings and have pep rallies?

[-] Kedly@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

No idea what a class ring is? Not sure about pep rallies

[-] mbp@lemmy.sdf.org -1 points 2 years ago

We have to clarify every time something is American? People don't even realize because, well, it's so normal to an American. It's not like it's done spitefully.

[-] kattenluik@feddit.nl -1 points 2 years ago

This only just federated, but yes things like this do indeed have to be clarified or at least edited afterwards with a tag or something.

I'm triple 13

[-] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I dont know why you're getting downvoted. This sounds EXACTLY like the thoughts I'd get when I was 13. Simpler times.

Showerthoughts

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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

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.
