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: 1
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
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- 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.

If 4 did not exist, then you would be using a base-4 quarternary numbering system (which is able to use the numbers 0,1,2,3)
The system will be similar to how our base 10 numbers work, but instead of counting to 9 before adding a trailing zero and becoming 10, you would count to 3. So 2 plus 2 would roll past 3, and equal 10.
Have you ever considered
Yes, but Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?
Perchance
Posting while high should be a bannable offence.

Then you have modular arithmetic.
2+2=1
If you’re working in modulo 3 arithmetic.
because 4 doesn't exist...
...I suppose it could also be 10.
or 11 if 3 doesn't exist either
There are only 10 types of people in the world...
You’ve inadvertently hit on the beginnings of an apparent paradox to do with the relationship between numbers and the counting numbers
Suppose the largest number you can have is X and the smallest number you can have is -Y. Then between -Y and X, you can count X+Y numbers which is clearly larger than X. But X is the largest possible number so X+Y doesn’t exist.
suppose the largest number
Gotta stop you right there. A largest number doesn't and can't exist. If we introduce one, paradoxes arise all over the place and the whole system falls apart.
Oh so that's why big brother is telling everyone that 2+2=5 man if only the administry of truth did a better job at explaining his conclusions we wouldn't have a need to re educate people
This is not StonerThoughts.
