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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

No, I meant it. "Two forty-five" is a figure of speech. If you were giving the time in exact terms you'd say something like "it's been two hours and forty-five minutes since midday/midnight". You're just stuck in this idea that your way of expressing it is the right one.
See my previous comment.
That's the most arrogant reply you could've written. And I've just clicked on your name and seen your other comments, and it all makes sense. Wind your neck in and go outside.
See my comment previous to the last.
