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.

Nobody tell them about the cishet ally flag which is almost exactly this... ;)
Having just checked that flag, damn, we don’t get any fun colors?!?
The ally flag gets fun colors! It’s the black and white background with a rainbow ∧ shape. I wear this as a pin sometimes. Also my favorite restaurant has one hanging proudly inside.
I am 100% in favor of the message behind this flag, but holy crap it's a real eyesore. Same with the Progress Pride flag and some of the other LGBTQ flags. I keep hoping some skilled graphic designers out there will come up with cleaner designs.
Few things are more gloriously heteromasculine than intentionally drawing aggro away from your homies by being the eyesore rodeo clown 🤠
Idk, I like the Progress Pride flag. Imo it makes sense and represents pretty much everyone. Yeah it has a lot of colors, but the design itself is pretty straightforward
So, your question got me wondering. I went on a whole search down the rabbit hole, and I eventually came upon a YouTube video that summarizes it briefly and elegantly:

Lmao it’s been a minute since I’ve seen this. Guess I’ll go get some Starbucks and watch some Friends to recover from this burn.
As a queer circus performer, I hate that flag since half my performance wear is black and white circus stripes
