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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

What’s a digitspan?
A test for working memory.
https://www.memorylosstest.com/digit-span/
I don't have ADHD and my upper limit for digits seems to be around 6.
It took a few tries, but if I memorize the numbers in chunks of 3, then 3, then 2 then it's a lot easier.
I believe 6 or 7 is the average across the whole population
