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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I see your sources. I will check Wikipedia to see if there has been discussion on it, if not, I will bring it up and get back to you.

(On phone right now so I can't)

EDIT: Will not be posting this on Wikipedia, see response in https://lemmy.ml/post/23416718/15472127

Well good. Luck with that, but my experience trying to get changes through on Wikipedia is that it just takes one person with an agenda to stubbornly go "nuh-uh" and there nothing you can do about it

I used to edit Wikipedia for a long time, so I know what you're saying - but if you're actually correct, you'll generally win (may require pinging some other people who know you to come in to mediate)
