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

A trick I learned from my dad was to do a quick "9-9-start" to get about a minute and a half

"9 0 start" is the same number of buttons. Also +30 seconds 3 times gets exactly 90 seconds. Your dad was trolling

Yeah but you gotta move your finger from the 9 to the 0, which is slower

Also +30 seconds 3 times gets exactly 90 seconds

It didn't have that button then

What did he do with all of the time he saved?

If he's anything like me, that time would be spent on ranting about microwave ovens.

Absolutely nothing. We both got the ADHD bad.
