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.

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

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

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

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.

[–] jh29a@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

huh? please elaborate. The opening paragraph of the time cube article appears normal

[–] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 2 points 10 months ago

It is entertaining.

What if we add a 4th dimension with years?

[–] TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sure. That would be 4 days in a… well stack is already taken, so what do we call that?

[–] Sparky@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Maybe a box, or a jumbo stack

[–] TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 months ago

Four days in a box. It’s settled then.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That’s the third dimension of time. You playing 6D chess over here

[–] TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 months ago

If you include multiple years, you can add one more dimension.

[–] Szyler@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

That's only moving in the third dimension without moving in any other.

If you have movement in all 3 dimensions, you get January 1, February 6, March 13, April 25.

Thats diagonally and stacked.

[–] TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago

Diagonal for the win!
