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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

If people from the US love the imperial system so much, why are their musicians using metronomes instead of footonomes? (kbin.social)

You can but isn't as nice

I want you to try counting 10/4

Everything is 1/1 if you stop being a nerd.

While you are counting that switch over to 10 hour days. There is no reason there has to be 60 minutes in an hour or 60 seconds. 12/24/60 are just divisible well.

10 hours days are not standard. Music time signatures are different depending on the music and composer preference
