Saying you're down to do something means the same thing as saying you're up for it.

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: 1
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.
C / K / S. Remove X. Change letter names to match their sounds.
A / ugh / Ayyy.
B = Buh
C = Removed? It's just K or S in reality.
D - Dih
E - same?
Etc. etc. there's better linguists than an old school Grammar Nazi turned Language Darwinist.
I like the idea of removing upper and lower case letters too and changing their denotation with a new symbol, but I'd have to think longer about case studies or could be easily persuaded.
C has some uses other than K/S. The usage in "ch"ess, for instance. We'll have to shoehorn some other letter here if C is eliminated.
Or we may just reassign "c" to always sound "ch" since it's freed from other sounds, and save some ink, too 😉
Mmmm yeah that's that good shit.
