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

Huh, all of mine since I was a kid have taken numbers up to 99 in seconds. Gotta admit I've never tried x60-x99

I regularly use 55 or 66 instead of just hitting start 2x which does the 30 second thing because it's so ingrained.

And 44 seconds is known as an Obama, 33 a Truman, 22 a Cleveland, and 11 a Polk.

Pressing more than one number is sacrilege. and 45 is treasonous.

This should be codified
