Showerthoughts

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

At least Croatian, so I'd assume other balkan languages as well as potentially Czech and Slovak would use it. I think Latvian does as well.

In addition to what others have said, check my username. 🙃

Ah, I see. The .nl doesn't seem to match though.

When after USB-Č comes USB-Ć, what will you do?

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 3 points 18 hours ago

I'm gonna call it USB-SOFT Č

Oh cool. I'm guessing czech is phonetic? Slavic languages are really cool but also really confusing to me.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

I don't think any of the slavic languages are really phonetic. The closest might be serbian with their piši kao što govoriš rule

Lithuanian, actually lots of languages, even Russian has a č sound.

[–] ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

That fiction language Portuguese. /s

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 19 hours ago

Portuguese only has ç - same as Spanish - no č.

Agree on it being a fiction language ;)

Č standing in for what? Čevap? Človek? Črnomelj? Čmrlj?

As Obnoxious as these notations sound, I'd rather have all the usbc subtype broken out and labeled differently. At least then id have a clue if this usb cable I found is going to actually work with any given device. It's totally trial and error now. We finally got a respectable physical inferface and widespread adoption, but under the hood it's as messy as ever with different protocols.
