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.

Yep, that is why I have one on my key chain. But there is really no need to have more than that.
You do know they have limited write cycles, right? Not getting at you or anything. Just checking. I've had a handful flip over to read-only mode over the years, would hate for that to happen to anyone else unexpectedly.
Doesn't larger storage mean that it lasts longer since it can better balance wear on the cells?
If you ever reach that limit, well done. You got a hell of value out of that device.
I have SSDs that are in use 24/7, writing up to 200GB per day and in constant use for 3 years. 99% drive health.
Whoa, what could you possibly be writing that much?!
Torrents.
As in, you're constantly downloading more and more?
I'm closing in on 80% capacity, but yeah.
