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
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 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-----

ISO 8601 ftw!
It's the only way.
The way almost everyone else does it - Americans, Europeans, etc - is just wrong.
May I introduce East Asia? They also like to do addresses top down
I mentioned etc.
Oh sorry, my point was that East Asia does it YYYY-MM-DD, with the exception of maybe some different delimiter and leading zeros depending on preference, they already coincidentally do it the ISO way!
