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.

- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique

Sometimes I just forget ok? I mean it's changing every year
Also I think it matters less and less in your life. As a child/teenager you got asked for your age all the time
But you still have to know what year it is.
its just 11 + the current year.
I am 1988 so i am 12 + the current year.
Didn't think of it like that until your post but it is pretty easy.
You're 2035 years old? Wild..
Just Google "Taylor Swift age" like the rest of us creeps.
I hardly know who that is, which feels great to be honest.
I'm tired of celebs.
Pretending you're blind and deaf to popular culture (to the extent where you claim to have never heard of one of the best-selling artists of all time) is an order of magnitude more cringe and obnoxious than people who obsess over celebrities.
I'm not pretending, I'm just old. :) Not interested in any of that. You probably realize that there is an age when you just stop caring about all that shit. If not, you will see for yourself later in life.
Math like that is really simple if you take it in easy chunks.
For example, to calc your age, just take the years from birthday to 2000 (11) and add it to the years since 2000 (23). 11 + 23 = 34.
Best part is the first calc never changes - so if you remember thst number it's just like having a 2000 birthday. Just add 11.
