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

To get your final spontaneity ability score, you have to multiply base spontaneity by a factor of

     1  
––––––––––––  
1 + 1000 * k  

where k is the number of kids you have.

I think you have to also account for the kids' ages. An infant is different than a toddler, teen, or adult child.

I have left this aspect as an exercise to the reader.

I'm having a really hard time refuting this equation. It appears to work out even for negative and non-integer values of k

Chop off the end of some kids finger.

Okay but how would one have negative amount of kids??

[–] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Murder. It’s how many kids you’ve murdered. Therefore you will be in prison and have negative spontaneity.

Kill someone else's kid.
