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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

People born in the year 2000 don't have to try and calculate how old they are when people ask them their age (lemmy.ca)

Trying to do this mentally:

1989 + 1 = 1990
2023 - 2000 = 23
2000 - 1990 = 10
23 + 10 = 33

33 - 1 = 32 Ha! Easy!... Wait.

33 + 1 = 34 Shit. Double+1. Ok, I thought the -1 at the end would undo the +1 at the beginning. But, I guess the 2000-1990 messed me up.

Maybe

2000 - 1990 = 10
1990 - 1989 = 1
2023 - 2000 = 23
23 + 1 = 24
24 + 10 = 34

I feel like you just typed out a learning disability somehow.
