Made me silently count to ten to confirm. Mind expanded.
Showerthoughts
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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
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.
Huh. Same in Dutch!
they do if u kiss me
They do if you kiss yourself in the mirror, but only on the lips
You can only kiss your lips in the mirror
I love this! It doesn't seem like it could possibly be true, but my 30 seconds of testing haven't debunked it.
Fümf
Lies.

Kolme - that’s 3 in Finnish
correct me if I'm wrong, but it's up to 1000 in Spanish, right? I'm wondering if I'm saying 9 right.
Portuguese: 1 (um)
In English, my lips touch when I make the "f" sound at the start of four. I am also pretty sure they touch for one.
Nope, for me my bottom teeth touch my upper lips.
I cover my bottom teeth with my bottom lip at the start so the lips touch on 'four'
I'm not sure about this. The only way I can make my lips touch when saying that number is if I actually say pour.
Thought the same, but you're right, putting both lips together makes a plosive.
In English*
Yup, I can't get past 5 in Norwegian.
In Belgian French it's 70, and in French² it's 1000
Egy, kettő, három
3 in hungarian
Joke's on you, I'm Roman.
My lips already touch at 𝕄.
Oh shiiit thats trippy!
Un deux trois... Mille ! In French (France 🇫🇷) 1000 before lips touch.
... Soixante-neuf, septante ! In French (Switzerland 🇨🇭) 70! (in France it's soixante-dix 😂)
How to say 90 in Swiss French? In French French the (40x2+10) way drives me crazy
Nonante!
And 80 is octante or huitante depending on the region
It is a little simpler than this base20 thing lol
En, to, tre, fire, fem.
1000000 / 5 = 200000
Here's the proof that Danish is 200.000 times better than English.
In romanian, it ends at 4. Romanian is 25% better than dutch and 250000 times better than english
250000 times better than english
That's a very low bar tho
1 more and you learn why Swedish is superior.
Found the american.
I only have to count to 5
What if I say "um" somewhere because I lost my place?
Then it's your fault for not saying "uh" instead!
that's one hell of a water bill if you were in the shower counting to one million.
Not if you count using a logarithmic base 10 scale!
Just yell 10! and you've counted way further already
