    Jokes on you, I’m here doubling down, spending more seconds posting this comment:

    Have a great and fruitful rest of your life, dear internet stranger!

    “The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.” — Bertrand Russell or something. Also while finite, it is still very big number.

    Another point, I am already on lemmy, I am here exactly for this purpose. Gonna read all comments too.

    Finite but not fixed, maybe the time spent on this caused me to miss some rendezvous with fate I otherwise had and so gained a great many seconds by it.

    At some low point in my life I binge-watched the entirety of “How I Met Your Mother”… Trust me, you cannot hurt me the way I’ve hurt myself. 😔🤣

      Either is correct because the sentence can be read with either number or seconds as the subject:

      There are (a finite number of) seconds…

      There is a finite number [measuring the] seconds

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.
