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.

You! You're that pathetic Elmo dick rider from the other sub. He still isn't going to give you money, you germ.
Vous m'accusez?
I don't think you're flaming the right guy here.. maybe check your notes?
Bro you made exactly one comment where you tried to extend the base level of human empathy to Elon. Don't you know you're the devil now?
i know, i know... i actually have a troll now. on lemmy! lmao
Read some of his other posts. He still thinks Elmo is a flawed god and will somehow come good, while trivializing the harm he does to millions of people in the meanwhile.
I think you just misunderstand their message. From what I can tell, they think Elon is unkind and generally disagreeable. Also, from what I can glean from their comments, they believe in the gentile approach similarly to the teachings of pacifists like MLK and Ghandi.
It's not wrong, it's just a different form of resistance than you're used. You're used to violent, aggressive resistance more similar to the teachings of revolutionaries like Malcom X and Hamilton. That's not wrong either, it's just a different form of resistance than he's used to.
What's important to realize is that we actually need both. In order to make change, we need to overwhelm the opposition with legal issues, gentleness in the face of violence, and rule-following at the same time as we overwhelm them with Tesla burnings, protests, and what have you. We have to do it all. Because they've been doing it all. They've been gently ripping at the seams of our systems until now, they can rip them apart. We need to rip at their seams at the same time that we tear at the loose ones.
Well said
Your a Musk cuck. You probably work for him.
