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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

Also they did create LUA
Maybe if we start saying Americans speak Americanese they'll get the memo lmao
Why would Brazil choose Spanish?
Brazil is a known Mexican Country, obviously they speak Spanish
Ridiculous. They’re in Latin America, so they speak Latin.
Ego puto in orto meo
Cuz Brazil speaks Spanish, duh. Not every country has English as their language, dummy
good ragebait 👌
But don't they use Portuguese?
I'll hate on python (or any dynamically typed lang) as much as the next guy, but let's not be language snobs
Why would you hate on it? It has its usecases. You won't build an OS in Python, but I'd much rather do data processing in Python than in C
I try to avoid python for two main reasons. While coding, white spaces. Who thought that was a good idea? While using, shared dependancies, again who thought thay was a good idea? I have to use pipx or manually make a venv otherwise python scripts start breaking each other. May as well just package it with its own dependancies from the get go.
These uh..aren't issues you need to think about much.
I literally have to think about dependancies every time i install a python script in Debian. It always says its externally managed and use pipx. Then its not in pipx so i have to make a venv. Any other language i download and compile and it only cares about dependancies at build time.
Oh I'll agree there: whoever designed the way python works on Linux distros seems to have been brain dead. I'm also cool with any devs who think they should make user dependencies require pipx or any of the 53 not-quite-pip variants getting shot -- not dead, just like in their calves or something. Small caliber. If there isn't a simple plain pip version it's 50/50 whether the code is ever gonna work.
I'll note that python also only cares about dependencies at build time.
There are tools which allow you to build your full application including dependencies into an executable file.
