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.

Rules

3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.

To move it to Feb 29th you'd have either a 9-month shorter term, or a 3 years and 3 months longer one.

Oh wait, yeah, you're right, I accounted for "late the next February" without taking into account that wouldn't be a leap year. Sometimes math escapes me.
