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.

*read receipts
The device will receive the message and send the received receipt regardless of the user (unless they have airplane mode on, or the device off entirely). It won't send read receipts until the message is actually viewed though.
Personally, I turn these off completely. You'll get a response when I'm available and feel like it; I don't like people feeling like they're being ignored just because I'm busy, or not ready to reply. I also find it kind of creepy having my phone report to others what I'm doing/have done.
First thing I do on a new phone regarding any messaging if to disable that feature. I don't want people thinking I'm ignoring them, but I also don't want people to know that I'm ignoring them.
