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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Adding onto this twins born near midnight around 1999 to 2000 could be born in different milleniums.
Actually, this millennium began 2001.
TIL they never had a year 0. So the whole damn calendar is an off by one error 🤯
That’s why we have ISO 8601.
Seems easier to be like everyone else and just say it starts at 0 and just accept the first millennium is missing a year.
Wow I learned something new. I had to search it after reading your comment and it is indeed 2001. https://www.timeanddate.com/counters/mil2000.html
Yeah, most people get it confused with the Willenium which did end in 1999.
Nice I did not know the fresh prince made an album called Willenium.
