Showerthoughts

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

En, to, tre, fire, fem.

1000000 / 5 = 200000

Here's the proof that Danish is 200.000 times better than English.

As long as you have that ridiculous "to og en halvfjers" counting system, you do not have a superior system 😉

[–] djmikeale@lemm.ee 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Haha! Yeah truth be told, our number system is completely stupid 😂

[–] MoonlightFox@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Besides the number system you got most things under control in Denmark.

You also have one of the greatest shows, Klovn 😂

250000 times better than english

That's a very low bar tho

1 more and you learn why Swedish is superior.

One more and Germans get in on the action. And they get to say sechs (sex) right before.

Speaking as a fellow Dane, I reject your "touch lips quickly while counting" criteria for language quality, especially since English is much more versatile and universally useful for communication and thus better 😁
