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

I didn't know Canada has law governing names. Where I live it's free for all. A kid even named "Karantina Covidah" by their parents for fuck sake.

The above is for Quebec only, which has a completely different civil law system (a mix of common law and Napoleonic civil code), and does not apply to the rest of Canada.

From what I can tell, Quebec has laws for just about everything.
