Many moons ago could either mean a long time ago or a week ago.

You’ve never heard of a “new moon?”

No I had, but just always took the saying literally.

“Many moons ago, I had a car.” Could’ve been last week.

“Many moons ago, I was in diapers.” Was definitely not last week.

Months are literally based on the phases of the moon. The word “month” derives from “moon” in every language I’m aware of. If you took it literally, you’d understand that “moons” is analogous to “months.”

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.

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
