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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

They do have to calculate it, it's just the calculation is a bit easier for them.

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!
