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

The one the restaurants use and the copyrighted one that families use.
Restaurant: “happy happy birthday from all of us to you. We wish it was our birthday so we could party too! Hey!”
Family/copyright: “happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, -name-. Happy birthday to you.”
Except it is not copyrighted anynore
From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Birthday_to_You
I have no idea what you're talking about.
There's only one brithday song and it goes like this: Awkwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard, ok, can we just, uh, stop? Ok, cool.
There's also "This is your birthday song. It isn't very long. Hey!"
There’s another one used when the copyrighted one was still copyrighted.
“haa-py, happy, happy birthday. Happy birthday to you”
