Stolen British Museum-ed

This was reported for breaking rule 1,4,5.

1 The votes seem to agree that it’s not a shower thought. I’m slow to remove a post for this rule, I would rather let the votes do the work.

4 I’m not sure saying this about Putin is saying anything about any people group. You can be hugely supportive of people groups while thinking their leaders are responsible for, or capable of, horrible things. At various times nearly every country could be used as an example of this.

5 I’m not sure what community rule it’s breaking. It’s not a very positive post but people should be free to be negative online if they that’s how they feel. Lord knows that many comment threads are negative. I may feel differently if the the majority of posts suddenly became negative.

As always I’m open to feedback.

That’s interesting, thank you. I didn’t know anything about Gujarati, this is a cool opportunity to learn!

Edit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gujarati_numerals

Google translated it as “Nine days and seven days are tight”.

Does that sound like a good translation to you?

So when someone changes a light bulb, which direction to turn is just a feeling in their bones?

That’s fair.

The concept of a shower thought is annoyingly abstract, so I error on the side of leaving posts up, but maybe this is a good chance to get the perspectives of others:

1. Is the problem, or part of the problem, that the post is a question?
2. Or maybe the post is not whimsical enough?
3. Do people think a shower thought can ever be a question?
4. Is it something else that makes this not a shower thought?

This post was reported for breaking community rules. Its not obvious to me what rules would be broken. dm me if you feel strongly about it and would like to clarify.

It’s not always that simple…

Yeah. I can create and edit files.

You pushed it to OsmAnd? Thank you!

This post was reported for being a news article not a shower thought. Also it seems like several of the comments are concerned that it is political.

There isn’t a rule against posting a link. The article does seem relevant and OP’s thought isn’t taken from the article, it seems unique, like something you might think of in the shower after reading the article.

There isn’t a rule against political posts. Many posts have some component of politics to them.

Thank you all for being civil with each other. Thank you all for commenting and reporting when think something is pushing the limits on what should be considered a “shower thought”, it’s an abstract concept, so social pressure is helpful in shaping the community. I try to error on the side of being permissive.

As always, I am open to feedback.

Edit: spelling, ironically

Sounds like an unpleasant shower… I’m sorry

Oh I didn’t know you could setup quick options.

You can share profiles?! Sweet thanks.

Yeah it doesn’t have the friendliest user interface, but it does have an enormous amount of functionality when you eventually find the menu you are looking for.

For a moment I was trying to figure out what kind of git merge would give someone new cars… Sounded like some tech bro shenanigans

Edit: ha I got distracted for an hour and I got beat to it.

Thanks I had no idea what it was.

This comment was reported. I’m not seeing any issue but the reporter can dm me and point it out if I’m missing something.

Well if it doesn’t happen again, that means Linux isn’t doing well.

‘it’ being a handoff of ownership

Motorola still has them
