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.

Could be! Could also be that turning the legitimate experiential issues with a technology you seem to have a deep attachment to into a personal attack on the one who made them might ALSO be a skill issue. At least I can say it's consistent with the design philosophy of these OSs.
But seeing as how you've apparently got personal vested interest in this to the point where you're going to resort to insulting me rather than making any real points, I'm just going to bow out of this one. You have a good one, sir.
Think you're confusing who's getting emotional about this biddy
Oh, I didn't say anything about getting emotional. I am emotional about this. I hate this technology, have terrible experiences with it, and I won't apologize for that. But as an adult, I can target my anger at the thing I'm angry at. I didn't decide to turn it into personal attacks on YOU because your experience was different. That's a path YOU took, and after this message, you're taking it alone. Once again - have a good one.
