I view “completely turned it around” as as 180 too. Think about it “I’ll turn this car around if you don’t quiet down” it means you’ll go the opposite direction. So “completely turning it around” means they did just that.

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
- 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
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.

Came here to say this. If you do a 360, you turned around twice.
360 deg is exactly the same as 0 deg. .
Its more of a spiral, downward typically.
I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that lol
can't imagine why, not like it's retarded or anything
"180, you Sicilian schmuck! If I did a 360 I would turn all the way around and be right back where I started!"
Usually when I do dat it leaves a hole
If you turn completely around are you going to same direction you were when you started?
I think it's valid that it's "completely turned my life around" and "I pulled a 180 and changed my life."
Broke: Saying 'completely turned my life around'
Woke: Saying 'completely turned my life around 360°'
Bespoke: Saying 'completely turned my life around 2π radians'
Turning my life around 360 would mean my alcoholism is out of control again.
Because to completely turn around is to wind up going the other way, you fucking fuck.
Turn 360 degrees and walk away.
Make like a tree and split
When someone says "turn around", you turn 180° to the opposite direction of what you're currently facing, not 360°.
Well duh, the first statement is in radians.
Don't make me completely turn this car around!

Make a 270
Two wrongs don't make a right but three rights make a left.
Do you know why they call it the Xbox 360?
Cause when you see it you turn 360° degrees and walk away! GOTTEM.
It's not the destination but the journey. In that 360 turn you may have looked inwards and at your past, identified failings of the past or remember things you forgot about that you loved. When you reach that 360 point you're more aware of what has been and may have a different outlook on what could be. Or something like that..
"I've completely turned my life an arc" - Will Turner
"completely turned around" could be charitably interpreted as "swiftly and accurately corrected course". 360, not so much.
While we're on the subject, why is it called "reverse cowgirl" but we don't really call regular woman on top "cowgirl"?
We do. Cowgirl is a sexual position.
In my day it was called female superior. And we invented it, so we should know.
Hmm. Maybe it's a regional thing? Where I'm from, I've never really heard it called that.
I’ve heard of it, and that’s what all the books of fun positions call it
