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.

That's kinda how it already is:
Minorities White People The 1%
Then there's the club 33 equivalent for the billionaire class.
Also with a mandatory arbitration agreement, the "supreme court" is really just one dude being the arbitrator, and that's the corporate CEO's brother.
We're sorry. You have insufficient funds for citizen level rights, and pursuant to the 104th ammendment, your rights will be reduced accordingly.
You are now Peasant class. Please report to your nearest farm for manual labour and the natural beauty of sleeping under the stars. For a mere $200/month, you can be waitlisted for a rights upgrade to lower plebian 3rd class.
I mean... the original versions had a lot of carve outs for states to tie rights and even personhood to land ownership.
Not to mention shit like the Three Fifths Compromise which definitely tied personhood to skin color and the money to say your kids were just tan.
Well that's kind of always the case.
If you don't pay your taxes you lose some of your rights, in almost any country.
