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 always thought 9 to 5 was the actual standard american working time. I also thought it was weirdly late.

So at what time do Americans actually work?

I mean, I'm at work from 8 to 5, but the hours where I actually do work are closer to 9 to 5...

7:30am to 4pm with 30 minute lunch break.

It is an American thing. In France it is usually 9 to 6 with a 2 hours lunch between because we like to have fun.
