If seeing someone 4 days consecutively is seeing them 4 days in a row, does that mean seeing someone every Monday of a month is seeing them 4 days in a column?

    Yes, and if we’re playing my connect 4 rules, you can also aim for a Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday - Thursday diagonal.

      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

        What if we add a 4th dimension with years?

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

            Maybe a box, or a jumbo stack

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

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

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

        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.

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
