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

Year 2000 is 20th century. 21st century started on January 1st, 2001.

I know this, yet I still celebrated the new century/Millenium with the rest of humanity on Jan 1st, 2000.

It's just aesthetically more pleasing to conveniently ignore the technicality.
