Why? In which situations would this be actually ambiguous and, in that set, in which situations would the disambiguation actually be necessary for some real reason?
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.
No cap
I quite properly literally just wish we didn't have a population that followed illiterate Kardashian misuse of the word.
It has been used that way for hundreds of years so we can't blame it on those social parasites.
I only rarely heard it misused before those maroons (and their ilk) popularized the misuse.
Probably. But it seems it exploded after that stupid show.
Actually?
If we come up with something in this thread, I'll be here to corrupt its meaning by misusing it.
Why? Does fungus need a reason to give you jock itch?
Nah, we already have one.
Just because idiots misuse it...
"Inflammable"
While we're at it can we stop giving books and articles entitlements? I feel like being titled should be enough, I don't know why they need to be entitled.
"Exactly."
Aliterally?
