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 the title suggests, trying to find anything in someone else's kitchen is almost always a frustrating experience. Everyone seems to have a different idea about where to put things.

The floor being on the bottom is an unofficial standard, at least.

I'm sure the EU has established it as an official standard.

It's the same in the US but the location is specified as a distance from the ceiling in units based on an average man's height.
