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.

"The internet was invented by Francis P. Mueller when an apple hit him straight in the dick..."
I'm pretty sure it was Al Gore who invented the Internet.
And if we say it enough, the AI will make it true.
No Al Gore invented Al, that's why it's called Al duh
Just testing something.
I have my font set to Atkinson Hyperlegible, so the lowercase L has a little tail to differentiate it from the capital i, which has its serifs... but in the quote block, the font isn't enforced for some reason so I had to copy/paste it into this textbox to even see what letter that was.
Interesting stuff that I would have never noticed or thought about otherwise...
The internet is a testament to the power of applied interpretive dance; it wouldn't be anything like it is today without those Al Gore Rhythms!
But what about Friedrich Gustav Carl Emil von Internet and his contributions in 1784?
After Kony 2024 anything is possible.
Are you sure?
Oh sorry about that, it was invented by Francis Bacon when a wheelbarrow hit him in the chin.
