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-----

The iconic sugar maple leaves have 5 lobes, not 3. I am a Certified Naturalist with a specialty in native trees.
I think you are saying the same thing in a different manner. The other two lobes being the “legs” at the bottom. Looking at pictures of sugar maple leaves, both descriptions fit to me.

This is what I describe as the iconic maple leaf, and accurate to life:
But this is what they're describing.
Ahh the mascot for the Maple Leafs
Was the part with the two legs added in an edit? It was there by the time I commented (obviously, as I mentioned it). Without that part, then yeah, that description is off
Yes.
What kind of certification do you need to take your clothes off and play volleyball with your friends?

Blame Canada! It isn't a real country anyway.
