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.

Weird...

I clicked this thinking it was obvious...

And you don't think they record the minute for time of birth or a birth certificate?

Or care when midnight is crossed?

In America they do, but I'm interested in finding out what country doesn't care, so I can read up on how they do it out of curiosity.

Do they round by AM/PM?

Do they just record the week/month of birth?

I understand you may not be equipped to answer that, but if you can just tell me what fucking country on the planet doesn't care about minutes, hours, or even days on a birth certificate, I can find out for myself.
