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

I always thought 9 to 5 was the actual standard american working time. I also thought it was weirdly late.

So at what time do Americans actually work?

I mean, I'm at work from 8 to 5, but the hours where I actually do work are closer to 9 to 5...

7:30am to 4pm with 30 minute lunch break.

It is an American thing. In France it is usually 9 to 6 with a 2 hours lunch between because we like to have fun.
