    What if I say “um” somewhere because I lost my place?

      Then it’s your fault for not saying “uh” instead!

    En, to, tre, fire, fem.

    1000000 / 5 = 200000

    Here’s the proof that Danish is 200.000 times better than English.

            Well thank you! Although I find Klovn to be too cringe for me, I do agree on the other statement, I feel incredibly lucky to be born here, where even born into unfortunate circumstances, it’s still possible to get a successful life.

              I have watched every episode, it’s hilarious. Episodes ranging from them trying “the godfather of drugs” (heroin), to him stealing a wheelchair. I guess it might be too much for some people though, my wife can not watch it for similar reasons.

              I feel the same way about being born in Norway. I come from unfortunate circumstances as you call it, and I am doing well. This is thanks to the extensive free education that I have gotten.

      Speaking as a fellow Dane, I reject your “touch lips quickly while counting” criteria for language quality, especially since English is much more versatile and universally useful for communication and thus better 😁

      It applies to any English-speaking country, which makes sense since it’s written in English.

        It’s ‘fem’ in Swedish too, guessing it’s something similar in Norwegian? In Hebrew the first is 5 too (Chamesh/חמש), so that’s an interesting pattern

          Another thought to disturb restful slumber, especially if you are vain: in a mirror you can kiss yourself only on the lips.

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

  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.
