    but humming counts as singing, doesn’t it? which means that you COULD sing without vowels

      Yea, some voiced consonants like L, M, N, R and maybe Y would work fine for singing, I think. Like if we only had words like “Hm”, or “Lt” (pronounced similar to “ult”), you could sing it fine.

        I mean those are already halfway to vowels. In Japanese, “N” can be its own syllable.

        well - Wikipedia seems to disagree, and says “common definitions include “the utterance of words or sounds in tuneful succession””

        and that was just the first place i looked.

    30 years ago my music teacher told me that in Chinese-language singing it’s the consonants that are sustained.

      And also vowel (open-mouth) sounds. They just hold consonant sounds like English singers holds vowel sounds.

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

  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.
