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.

- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) 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

how do you not know how old you are?
I think it's fairly common that people do some math in their head, specially when they get older than 30. Because it doesn't matter really, you never need to tell anyone how old you are anymore. Well unless you use dating apps I guess, or date people... Nobody else asks your age.
I've been doing the math since I turned 20
It's been a hot minute since I've been on one of those apps but do they not just ask for your birthday and simply calculate your age...? Surely dating apps don't require you to update your age manually every year right...
I guess if you're not using an app then sure but you could just as well tell your birth year and if it's close enough it's probably fine. 🤷
Yeah you are right about the apps probably. I haven't ever used them but of course they have that built in. :)
