Showerthoughts

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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

I could beat you in a gay-off most any day of the week
Gay-off!
..It's a gay-off.
Could you beat me off in a gay off?
Nope, it's me and I bet you can't prove me wrong.
You're all wrong. Everyone is straight on the Freddy Mercury gay scale.
yall need log scaling

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire The Gay-Team.
So entire human sexuality can be described as being between two people at each ends.
a kind of worldwide spitroast
Only if you think someone's position on the spectrum never changes over time. Which, judging from the microsecond moment of pause induced in "straights" by the proximity of shirtless Jason Momoa, is not how this works.
Whoever is gayest could change from moment to moment as individual scores fluctuate. Or maybe you have to look at it as an average of all those cumulative scores. Rich had a fleeting moment of straightness, in an otherwise 100% gay life, that puts him a hair behind Stephan, whose gayness has been unwavering since birth.
More likely though, I think whether you look at the cumulative, or second to second, its a many way tie.

I think of it like beauty - there’s not much disagreement about whether someone is a 9, but a 10 is completely subjective. For someone to be breathtakingly stunning, there usually has to be something about them that most other people don’t see.

Once you get to the elite ranks there will always be disagreement on how to score the parameters of ultimate gayness
Much like IQ, once you're more than 2 standard deviations from the mean, there's no statistically meaningful way to measure additional queerness.

Not necessarily, there could just be a hard limit that multiple people hit. They're gayness is pegged, if you will. 😏
It's more that each person will have a moment in their life when they are at their gayest

More importantly does that mean people can be ordered by that and can we construct a binary search tree to find anyone with a specific value of gay within O(log_2(n)) time?
If and only if you can define "gay" on a one dimensional axis, otherwise it would be like plotting points on an N-dimensional graph, I'm pretty sure "gay" is a multiple dimensions thing.
So sadly we wont be getting a
tree: BinaryTree<Person> = BinaryTree::new_sorted_by(order_gayest);
anytime soon 😒

Sigh… yes. We’ve already been over this guys.
Frankie Grande is the gayest person. Freddie Mercury is the most bi person. Sabrina Carpenter is the straightest person.

Yes, probably my wife.
Idk Harley owners seem to be right up there.
I was bike curious, but later decided I'd rather have a Japanese bike.
It's not a competition.
its about going out there and doing your best for the love of the game
Not with that attitude
Yeah, and it's almost certainly some Baptist prosperity gospel preacher with nineteen children.
I'm the straightest person. I don't have a gender, and I'm attracted to all genders. 'all' and 'none' are by far more opposite each other *than any two specific sexes or genders could ever be.

Someone sucked the most dicks, so yeah.
If they sucked 2 cocks a day (conservative, I know) over a gay career of fifty years, that would be 36,500 cocks. Which is a very respectable number imo. But is that gayer than a guy in a committed relationship sucking the same cock 36,500 times?
But(t) am I the gayest for sucking the most cocks or because I'm the best?
Yes.
Whenever someone breaks a barrier as "The first gay..." remember that they're technically "the gayest...".
It does mean that, yeah.
Not necessarily, there probably exists multiple orderings on gayness , the question is if you can create a total ordering and if its multiple people are maximally gay, or at least if the gayest people are equally gay.
That's what Big Gay wants you to believe.
Scientifically speaking no, just like 2 objects can have the exact same color multiple people can all be on the end of this spectrum.
Yes. Once base stats are at maximum, it's all about positions, gear, and situational awareness.
