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

We should name the moon. Most people don't call their pets "dog" or "cat". (lemmy.world)

I feel like there could be Italians having the same conversation in reverse saying "Mi piace Moon". To most Latin languages Luna is as boring and generic as Moon.

It should be a name that the whole world could use instead of the basic word they use for a natural satellite because that was just the name for the Moon in their language.

Yeah well most Latin language speakers need to chill, so they can handle a little generic moonverbiage
