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

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

Try 77 sometime. The only reason I knew my mom's age is she was born in 57. Occasionally I'd even have to work the other way to figure out how old I was!

My kids were exactly 18 months apart, same day, one in 1999 and one in 2001. Math made (mostly) easy, baby.
