A sock is just a foot bag.

      That’s still a pretty advanced sock…

      For a disturbingly long time “socks” were just two long strips of cloth. While “foot bags” existed for a long time, they were just for the wealthy until less than a century ago in some places.

          Russian conscripts were being sent to the front with foot wraps instead of socks in 2023.

          Be careful with such analogies!

          The topologists might discover this post and then flock here, discussing how many holes there are in a pair of pants or so…

              A sock is topologically just a doiley

                Great, then, now we have another kind of hand bag.

                    As opposed to the kind made of actual hands?

                          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

                          1. All posts must be showerthoughts
                          2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
                          3. 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
                          4. Posts must be original/unique
                          5. 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.
