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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

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 think op is drowning in the shower

The clock hand placement for 11:19 is the reverse of 3:55. I assume OP’s workday ends at 4 PM.

Someone call 911 OP is having a stroke.

Less apparent with this one (I just used a clock face generator), but if the hour hand was longer as is the case with some clocks, it would look a LOT like 5 minutes till 4:00. I'm assuming OP's shift ends at 4:00 PM.

Analog clock displaying 11:19

Thank you. Makes perfect sense now.

Clearly taking the 25 or 6 to 4 approach of writing a title

Staring blindly into space

So much like 5:00 a.m. ? Right ... Asking the real question here. Procrastination.

[–] beefbaby182@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

If I'm following correctly, 11:19AM seems like it's a long ways off from 5PM when you haven't even had your lunch break yet. But then 4:00PM rolls around and THE FINAL COUNTDOWN starts where you only have ONE HOUR left in your workday.

I dunno, that's just my interpretation. Just riffing at this point.

Ummm...

Sometimes they don't think it be like it is, but it do.
