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-----

As someone born in 2000: No cause that day will not come.

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.
