          Wise man once said.

          Another thought to disturb restful slumber, especially if you are vain: in a mirror you can kiss yourself only on the lips.

      It applies to any English-speaking country, which makes sense since it’s written in English.

    In English, my lips touch when I make the “f” sound at the start of four. I am also pretty sure they touch for one.

        I cover my bottom teeth with my bottom lip at the start so the lips touch on ‘four’

        The F sound is usually a labialdental fricative in English. So you are putting your bottom lip on your teeth and letting some air go by to make the F sound.

        English has bilabial plosives where you touch both lips together and let air stop for a moment which makes the P or B sounds.

        English doesn’t have a bilabial fricative so you might be doing this in your dialect and it doesn’t stand out to anyone because it doesn’t otherwise have a phonetic meaning. But, interestingly, in other languages a bilabial fricative has distinct meaning from a labial dental fricative. I believe I’ve read that in Japanese the “F” in “Mount Fuji” is actually a bilabial fricative and not the normal F that English speakers use.

          I meant to say upper teeth to bottom lip, not the other way around.

      I’m not sure about this. The only way I can make my lips touch when saying that number is if I actually say pour.

        Thought the same, but you’re right, putting both lips together makes a plosive.

      That’s what I thought too, but if you google it, w sound is classified as “open mouth” sound by the experts. To me it feels like lips vibrating as sound and breath come through (lips open/close/open as they vibrate).

        screw googling. try saying it yourself without touching lips.

        it comes out as “oen”.

        “Open sounds” (which, I assume, refers to continuants) and bilabial sounds aren’t mutually exclusive.

        When you pronounce the /w/ at the beginning of “one”, your lips round (purse) and touch each other at the corners, but they don’t form a full closure. So, the oral tract is still open, but the articulators (moving mouth parts) are still touching.

        This could be reworded as “the middle of your lips don’t touch each other”, but multiple commenters are correct in that your lips absolutely do touch each other when you say “one” in English.

        I guess we’re all different, my lips definitely touched when saying one. There’s got to be an outlier for everything I guess.

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.
