Everyone that I know that uses linux is using Ubuntu. I'm the wierdo using Debian

You're also the weirdo using singular verbs with a plural noun. An unusual choice for sure.

Edit: wow, thanks for the downvotes. I thought we had moved away from the childish knee-jerk reactions that reddit was famous for.

You can do that in some languages, even in english, just replace "all people" with "everyone". From the usage of "all people" I'm assuming @Siegfried@lemmy.world is a native speaker of a romance/latin language.

Yes, and I always screw up with these kinds of sentences.

[-] smeenz@lemmy.nz 1 points 11 months ago

So.. you're saying that if we change the word to one that works, then the sentence is okay.

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:

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

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.
