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.

I get they different people has different cultural ways but I think it would mean a lot of you came to a funeral just support your family members. It is highly respectable and could mean a lot to those impacted the most.
I agree and it might be good advice for most people. But I'm a middle aged Indigenous Canadian that has lived a life of attending funerals from as far back as I can remember. My parents brought me to funerals of close relatives and friends from the time I was born. Up until I was about 20, I think I attended on average, two funerals a year (sometimes more). I've seen all kinds of funerals ... elderly, adults, teenagers, children and babies ... as well as single deaths or double or triple or quadruple deaths ... I've seen open caskets and several closed caskets for mutilated bodies they couldn't show ... and deaths for all kinds of reasons - sudden, accidental, tragic, mysterious, murder and suicide
About a decade ago I couldn't take it any more ... I've seen enough and I don't attend funerals any more. The only other funeral I plan on attending will be my own ... and even then, I won't be there any way.
I spend my time with the living when I can.
