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-----

Haven't you heard? Every country has year books and OP isn't leaving the rest of the world out!
I don't know anywhere else they're used, but in the US at the end of a "high school" year everyone gets their picture taken and they can put in a quote below their picture, this is then put in a book with the pictures laid out in a grid pattern.
This means that when you go to another page or close the books, the pictures on the other page touch and kiss!?!? No idea why the US would ever allow pictures with minors kissing but who knows.
Ah, American defaultism strikes again!
In this case its at least NORTH American since Canadian schools do yearbooks as well
Do you do class rings and have pep rallies?
No idea what a class ring is? Not sure about pep rallies
We have to clarify every time something is American? People don't even realize because, well, it's so normal to an American. It's not like it's done spitefully.
This only just federated, but yes things like this do indeed have to be clarified or at least edited afterwards with a tag or something.
