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.

-9.4°C, -15°C, and 1.7°C and 7.2°C, for those not using imperial units. Or rounded to the nearest fifth, -10°C, -15°C, 0°C, 5°C.

Thank you friend. Something something multiply/divide by 1.8 add/subtract 32. Haven't thought about that equation in years.

I just use this site (a bit of a slurry name, but it does its job)

Every license test I've had to take for my career (stationary engineering) I've had to do the conversions on paper so it just brought back evil memories of that time lol.
