Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

Square peg, round hole (lemmy.world)

If the whole “square peg, round hole” BS was a valid argument for anything, all doors we go through would have to be shaped exactly like our own profile as we pass them.

showerthoughts is a better unpopularopinion than unpopularopinion (midwest.social)

The reactions to most posts are overwhelmingly negative and critical. Ironically, posts to c/unpopularopinion tend to argue that they agree with the post, and are consequently more supportive.

They say doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is insanity. Well what is doing the same thing over and over again and GETTING different results? (sh.itjust.works)

Tennis uses the imperial system of scoring (programming.dev)
submitted 1 month ago by ICastFist@programming.dev to c/showerthoughts@sh.itjust.works
11 comments fedilink
 
 

Tennis uses multiples of 15, but only up to 45, calls other points weird names, then closes a set, which has to be repeated at least 6 times for a separate scoring, with said scoring also needing to be repeated AT LEAST 3 more times, but can be dragged out ad infinitum.

Even table tennis has the decency of using a straight scoring system where 11 points wins a set and 2 sets wins the match.

There would be less crime with a dominant religion that sacrificed prisoners to a death god. (sh.itjust.works)

Murder doesn't cause death (sh.itjust.works)

Killing someone doesn't change whether or not they die, only when.

The only thing that determines whether or not someone will die is whether or not they were born. Therefore, the only cause of death is birth.

The only case in which murder changes the amount of people who will die is if a person who would've otherwise had children is killed. By preventing birth it prevents death. In other words, murder can only decrease the amount of people who will die or keep it the same, but never increase it.

NPR stations are the original federated model. (sh.itjust.works)

Different stations produce different shows and share them among each other. That’s federation, baby.

I'm curious how many collectors-item level baseball cards were wrapped around bicycle forks with clothes-pegs in childhood to make a flappity-flap motor sound in the spokes. (sh.itjust.works)

I wouldn't be as worried about them going out of business and me being stuck with half broken car software.

I emote with my glasses a lot. Slowly pulling them off in amazement, sarcastically looking over the top of the rims, etc. How do people who can actually see handle it?

The real shower thought was about movement across the highest speed we know of at the minimum distance we know of, so I divided Planck length by the speed of light.
