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.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

You can also go 3D. January 8, February 5, March 4, April 8 would be 4 in a stack.

Seeing time in 3D, mayhaps like a Time Cube?

Holy shit, what an opener, and then the second paragraph is the perfect punchline. I think the wiki editors knew exactly what they were doing.

huh? please elaborate. The opening paragraph of the time cube article appears normal

It is entertaining.

What if we add a 4th dimension with years?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sure. That would be 4 days in a… well stack is already taken, so what do we call that?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe a box, or a jumbo stack

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Four days in a box. It’s settled then.

That’s the third dimension of time. You playing 6D chess over here

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

If you include multiple years, you can add one more dimension.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

That's only moving in the third dimension without moving in any other.

If you have movement in all 3 dimensions, you get January 1, February 6, March 13, April 25.

Thats diagonally and stacked.

Diagonal for the win!
