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. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
"Long" is interesting. It's an English surname, but there's also Chinese people called "Long" as it means "Dragon"
FYI: 龙 is not pronounced "long" lmao
you do not pronunce the pinyin as if it were an English word
It's got different tones, I know that
None of the 4 tones of the pinyin "long" even sound like "long" in English. I mean the "o" does not represent the same sound.
Sorry if I sound like I'm trying to start a debate for no reason, but as a native Mandarin speaker, it kinda triggers my OCD xD
Lóng.. Long... It sounds very similar
