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

In most of European countries we don’t have an equivalent of AM/PM and we mostly use 24 hours time. If not we have to add “6 of the afternoon”.
Fun fact: can you tell a difference between “midnight in the morning” and “midnight in the evening”? It seems that everyone assumes that midnight is always the end of a day, but 24h clocks never display 24:00. It’s 00:00 to 23:59
I guess I found another shower thought.
