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
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

They seem to excel at it.
Gotta remain positive and see the glass half full, or January 2nd depending on the cell format.
She's so perfect. Literally not a single flaw. She's a 1.
Excel would say Oct. 10
He’s got all access to that one
Word.
If your mind goes to "spreadsheet" instead of "calendar," that says more about your... proclivities... than it does his!
It's really more of a DataFrame I've mismanaged. Which might be why I'm struggling to handle my relationships.

Now that's quality showerthinking
This is what it's all about right here.
First post here that kind of fucked me up for a moment.
this hit me like a mental flashbang. your wisdom is beyond all of us
Yes, and if we're playing my connect 4 rules, you can also aim for a Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday - Thursday diagonal.
You can also go 3D. January 8, February 5, March 4, April 8 would be 4 in a stack.
thank goodness i can see time in 3d now. this wont end badly.
Seeing time in 3D, mayhaps like a Time Cube?
Holy shit, what an opener, and then the second paragraph is the perfect punchline. I think the wiki editors knew exactly what they were doing.

What if we add a 4th dimension with years?
Sure. That would be 4 days in a… well stack is already taken, so what do we call that?
That’s the third dimension of time. You playing 6D chess over here
If you include multiple years, you can add one more dimension.

If you see someone on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, that counts as only three days in a row, since Monday is on another row. If you see somebody on four consecutive Tuesdays, that would be four days in a column.
What if the Mondays span different months?
Like 8/19, 8/26, 9/2, 9/9?
Now the Mondays are on another page or they're a swipe to the right
Maybe!
Bonus!! Love this concept:
Some context:
The bonus is absolutely terrifying
Looking at my life calendar every day for a few months really kicked my life into gear.
My advice is just open it up and look at it once per day. You don’t have to do anything else. Make sure it’s one where the current week is marked.

You got me there!
This what a calendar does to a mf
Are you perchance Bobby Tables?
I see where this question is leading, and I don't think I like the implications
... Where is it leading?
No, it's boating related. Four days in a sail.
Get your ducks in a column.
I'm going to make the executive choice of saying that yes. Yes it does mean that.
I absolutely love this.
Life is row-order; suck it, FORTRAN
So whats first day of the year 4 years in a row?
In a three dimensional calendar that could work, 4 days deep ?
There is no human entity, just human Cubics - as in 4 different people in a 4 corner stage metamorphic rotation.
4 corner quadrants compose Earth sphere, as 4corner room with 4corner dimensions, with 4corner perspectives and the 4seasons. Earth's 4corners rotate 4corners of TIME, creating 4simultaneous day Earth rotation, as if 4 different Worlds with their own day, for 4separate races with 4corner life stages, with outer limits of 4x4 great-grandparents.
(sorry, I couldn't resist!)
Evil Ass Educators Suppress Time Cube, and dumb ass students condone such evil. Cubeless institutions are spreaders of evil, and students lack mentality to challenge it.
I bestow upon myself the "Doctorate of Cubicism", for educators are ignorant of Nature's Harmonic Time Cube Principle and cannot bestow the prestigious honor of wisdom upon the wisest human ever.
Belly Button Logic Works.

I'd say so.
Although I still think it's weird that "consecutive" became a requirement.
Edit: Not implying blame for OP about the requirement. But colloquially it does mean consecutive, and I think that's a little strange. Probably a weird etymology rabbit hole to look at sometime.
