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.

Saying 'completely turned my life around' is normal, but saying 'turned my life around 360°' (rather than 180) is stupid. (lemmy.ml)

I view “completely turned it around” as as 180 too. Think about it “I’ll turn this car around if you don’t quiet down” it means you’ll go the opposite direction. So “completely turning it around” means they did just that.

Came here to say this. If you do a 360, you turned around twice.

360 deg is exactly the same as 0 deg. .

Its more of a spiral, downward typically.
