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.

If humans were born with 6 fingers on each hand we would be using base 12 instead of the decimal system. (lemmy.world)

In most of European countries we don’t have an equivalent of AM/PM and we mostly use 24 hours time. If not we have to add “6 of the afternoon”.

Fun fact: can you tell a difference between “midnight in the morning” and “midnight in the evening”? It seems that everyone assumes that midnight is always the end of a day, but 24h clocks never display 24:00. It’s 00:00 to 23:59

I guess I found another shower thought.
