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

In real life though, when the clock reads 15:00, how do you vocally express that?

Interesting.

I know people who prefer 24 hour clocks but use am/pm when expressing vocally.

I mean, if someone is asking me the time, I'll tell them 3 o'clock.

but you asked how i vocally express 15:00. Not how I would tell it to an average person :p

I'm not so up my ass that I think everyone uses 24 hour clocks, afterall lol
