Showerthoughts

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.

Misinterprets what I said to create a strawman
Is explained to that that's not what was meant
Repeats strawman.
Thank you for explaining what you're doing. But we were well aware of it.
"I know you are but what am I?"
Highest level of discourse.
You're the one coming in here and asking why anyone cares who wins an election that's not even in your country.
You can rightly fuck off. Most of us care very deeply who wins.
Not surprised you and the other people downplaying the election are from .ml
It is in my country lol. Just because I don't get to meaningfully vote in it doesn't mean I don't live here.
Keep pushing bullshit, ml
Tell you what, if Illinois goes red this election, DM me and I'll send you $200.
Ok cool. And if random thing does random result you'll owe me $200, too.
No.
By the way, quick question, would you say that you don't like me based on who I'm voting for in the presidential election, regardless of how I vote down ballot? Because it kinda seems like you're proving my point here.
That's exactly what everyone has thought about your opinions.
I'm rubber, you're glue, what you say bounces off me and sticks to you.
If that's the level of discourse you operate at, I can join you there, I guess.
If you weren't such a transparent .ml troll maybe someone would engage you. But we all know who you are, especially from your comments here today.
Throwing around a bunch of playground insults and then accusing me of being the troll is a good bit, 7/10.
🙄
Good talk, very high level and productive. You've really given me a lot to think about.
Considering you're a .ml troll, I doubt you spent that long on the whole "think about" part.
Do me a favor and tell the middle school kid who's giving you all your quips that if he keeps trying, he'll get there eventually.
I actually like that one, good job.
Doesn't change anything about you being a .ml troll, though. You're not fooling anyone.
Trolling is when someone disagrees with you for any reason.
Or an entire instance always has the same bad takes and defends it no matter what in posts they shouldn't be in.
That's very true, but none of the people who have replied to me are from .world so I don't see how that's relevant.
Herr durr
Are you telling me that you consider "no u" to be too low of a form of discourse for you? You were all about it earlier, what happened?
Your an idiot. I'm done talking to you. Better luck with your future troll attempts.
