      The one the restaurants use and the copyrighted one that families use.

      Restaurant: “happy happy birthday from all of us to you. We wish it was our birthday so we could party too! Hey!”

      Family/copyright: “happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, -name-. Happy birthday to you.”

        Except it is not copyrighted anynore

        From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Birthday_to_You

        The music and lyrics are in the public domain in the European Union and the United States. The copyright expired in the European Union on January 1, 2017. A U.S. federal court ruled in 2016 that Warner and Chappell’s copyright claim was invalid and there was no other claim to copyright.

        There’s another one used when the copyrighted one was still copyrighted.

        “haa-py, happy, happy birthday. Happy birthday to you”

      There’s also the “It’s your birthday, it’s your birthday!” chant that people do. Not The Birthday Song, but a birthday song.

      Edit: after researching it, I guess it’s 50 Cent, I’d always heard it, but never knew the source:

    My gift to anyone celebrating a birthday is to not sing. There’s probably other gifts. but trust me. Insisting I sing… you’ll regret it.

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.
