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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

People born in the year 2000 don't have to try and calculate how old they are when people ask them their age (lemmy.ca)

I was born in 1989 and the math is HARD some days.

I thought I had it easy. Born in 1990. 2022? I'm 32. 2023? I'm 33.

But now I am married. Dec 2019. So it's always hard to calculate how many years.

And to add to it. My daughter is born Nov 2021.

Good luck to anyone that asks me how old she is. You gotta wait until I count on all my fingers.

I have a daughter who is 6 and a son who is 4. So when people ask what year they are born I need to try and do reverse math.
