Are you dating a spreadsheet?

Gotta remain positive and see the glass half full, or January 2nd depending on the cell format.

She's so perfect. Literally not a single flaw. She's a 1.

[-] Localhorst86@feddit.org 16 points 1 year ago

Excel would say Oct. 10

He’s got all access to that one

If your mind goes to "spreadsheet" instead of "calendar," that says more about your... proclivities... than it does his!

[-] callouscomic@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

It's really more of a DataFrame I've mismanaged. Which might be why I'm struggling to handle my relationships.

Now that's quality showerthinking

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 12 points 1 year ago

This is what it's all about right here.

[-] Sundial@lemm.ee 82 points 1 year ago

First post here that kind of fucked me up for a moment.

[-] TheSpookiestUser@lemmy.world 75 points 1 year ago

this hit me like a mental flashbang. your wisdom is beyond all of us

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 71 points 1 year ago

Yes, and if we're playing my connect 4 rules, you can also aim for a Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday - Thursday diagonal.

[-] TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 52 points 1 year ago

You can also go 3D. January 8, February 5, March 4, April 8 would be 4 in a stack.

[-] Ferris@infosec.pub 27 points 1 year ago

thank goodness i can see time in 3d now. this wont end badly.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 8 points 1 year ago

Seeing time in 3D, mayhaps like a Time Cube?

[-] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 year ago

Holy shit, what an opener, and then the second paragraph is the perfect punchline. I think the wiki editors knew exactly what they were doing.

If you see someone on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, that counts as only three days in a row, since Monday is on another row. If you see somebody on four consecutive Tuesdays, that would be four days in a column.

Like this

[-] half_built_pyramids@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

What if the Mondays span different months?

Like 8/19, 8/26, 9/2, 9/9?

Now the Mondays are on another page or they're a swipe to the right

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Maybe!

Bonus!! Love this concept:

Some context:

[-] bottleofchips@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 year ago

The bonus is absolutely terrifying

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

If you can, hope you make today a great day 🌈

Looking at my life calendar every day for a few months really kicked my life into gear.

My advice is just open it up and look at it once per day. You don’t have to do anything else. Make sure it’s one where the current week is marked.

This what a calendar does to a mf

Are you perchance Bobby Tables?

[-] solidgrue@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

I see where this question is leading, and I don't think I like the implications

[-] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 6 points 1 year ago

... Where is it leading?

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Get your ducks in a column.

[-] Randelung@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

No, it's boating related. Four days in a sail.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

I'm going to make the executive choice of saying that yes. Yes it does mean that.

[-] SacredHeartAttack@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

I absolutely love this.

Life is row-order; suck it, FORTRAN

[-] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

So whats first day of the year 4 years in a row?

[-] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 year ago

In a three dimensional calendar that could work, 4 days deep ?

[-] noxy@yiffit.net 5 points 1 year ago

There is no human entity, just human Cubics - as in 4 different people in a 4 corner stage metamorphic rotation.

4 corner quadrants compose Earth sphere, as 4corner room with 4corner dimensions, with 4corner perspectives and the 4seasons. Earth's 4corners rotate 4corners of TIME, creating 4simultaneous day Earth rotation, as if 4 different Worlds with their own day, for 4separate races with 4corner life stages, with outer limits of 4x4 great-grandparents.

(sorry, I couldn't resist!)

[-] tektite@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 year ago

Evil Ass Educators Suppress Time Cube, and dumb ass students condone such evil. Cubeless institutions are spreaders of evil, and students lack mentality to challenge it.


I bestow upon myself the "Doctorate of Cubicism", for educators are ignorant of Nature's Harmonic Time Cube Principle and cannot bestow the prestigious honor of wisdom upon the wisest human ever.

I'd say so.

Although I still think it's weird that "consecutive" became a requirement.

Edit: Not implying blame for OP about the requirement. But colloquially it does mean consecutive, and I think that's a little strange. Probably a weird etymology rabbit hole to look at sometime.

Well you're not seeing them periodically. That would require them being on the same row.

[-] lengau@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

Not necessarily.

It could be five days in a column then there are five Mondays in a month (like this month).

Showerthoughts

37154 readers
8 users here now

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.
