Trying to learn Japanese as a hobby via Busuu app and had this thought.

Just look at this common kanji. https://jlptsensei.com/learn-japanese-kanji/時-ji-toki-time-hour/

Or this one: https://jlptsensei.com/learn-japanese-kanji/箸-cho-chaku-hashi-meaning-chopsticks/

That’s a bit racist. Also kanjis are not hard, the rule is: top to bottom, right to left, the end.

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

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
