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

"U-turn" isn't more complicated, it's describing the motion literally: making a U-shaped turn

Isn't it more like a n-shaped turn?

It could also be seen as the intersection of 2 sets. But you can't call it an intersection, the name is taken.

If you want to have to specify lowercase, sure.

Not if you're coming from the other direction.

Doesn't matter, the driver is always the frame of reference
