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.

my family would wait until the donuts would go on discount in the evening
sometimes it was the only calories that would get us through the next day
so donuts and dollars has always had a heavy weight to it
It's so crazy to me that American poors will always go on some crazy rpg-like quests to get their food instead of just learning how to cook.
yeah stupid 12 year old me who figures out how to turn baseball cards into gas and food for my mentally broken mother and my sister and brother
I mean we might have found a spot for the camping stove but ok sure cooking at parks and camp fire works. but being homeless and a child presented obstacles and discount donuts were the special spot for my dollar when a dollar meant the most to me
It's like one of those timed gacha games.
