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.

I honestly just think it's to show off. The only houses I've gotten the tour of have been the really big expensive houses.
That's weird. I've given and received tours in all sorts of apartments and homes. It is a little weird but it's a social convention. People mainly wanna know where the bathrooms are and if they're a house guest, get an idea of where they should especially respect privacy.
I have cool posters and easter eggs around the kitchen and living room that I love to show to people (and some party tricks like a folding couch). It’s not flexing really 🤷♂️
Uhh, that's kind of the definition of showing off? (It's fine, I'm not complaining. But let's call it what it is.)
I wouldn’t describe my 35sqm 1 bedroom apartment S “really big and expensive”
Oh, I'm not complaining. Shopping around zillow and looking through peoples houses is a guilty pleasure of mine. I enjoy the tours.
