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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

They do have to calculate it, it's just the calculation is a bit easier for them.
They could also process the year as a string and drop the first two characters.
Only if you were born on January 1, otherwise you have to do a simple +-1 math
But we’re not really calculating anything. I was 12 in 2012 and 8 in 2008. That’s much less a calculation and more so just observing numbers.
You're not living up to your username with an effort like that!
My username is pure sarcasm unfortunately
