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
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 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-----

Saying it out loud and using a worded date in this order is what I mean. English simply does not support "Twenty Twenty-four September Twenty" or "2024 September 20".
Sorry for the late response. Written and spoken order can be different (ie. $2 is pronounced two dollars and not dollar two)
2024-09-20 can be wordy:
In the year of 2024, in the 9th month, on the 20th day.
Yeah, $2 can also be transliterated, whereupon it becomes "two dollars"; 2024-09-20 can also be transliterated, wherein there are two major competing orders: DMY and MDY. And I agree that other major orders are too wordy, and that's sort of my point.
