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.
Why not use “triple” for three, which actually does mean three.
If you ask someone for "multiple" of something their almost always going to give you three of that thing (or nothing). In that context multiple is just three and as @CatsGoMOW@lemmy.world pointed out, if I use triple I could as well keep going with higher numbers (quadrupole etc)
The victim was shot multiple times. I don't see this as 3. I'd see this as 5 or 6 times
Yeah, your probably right; my English ain't perfect. A few would probably have been better to use as @RainfallSonata@lemmy.world pointed out
