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.

So, a Martian Congressional Republic? It does sound like something those damned dusters would pull.
What next? The denizens of the asteroid belt calling for more rights and designating an Outer Planet Alliance, while a mysterious proto-molecule wreaks havoc on the Solar System?
Oye kopeng, beltalowda need dem OPA to protect our rights. Sasa ke?
Ayo can I get a translation for us planetside? I no sasa
Wrecks havoc? Expanse was so unrealistic. Protogen would pay doctors in all factions to “speedrun herd immunity, open up trade and travel for the economy”. Errenwright would tell Secretary General to say “stop testing protomolecule and we won’t have cases”. MEGA will be ordering deliveries of protomolecule injections to inject themselves. Holden spaces himself because canonically at that time he still thinks the problem with people is lack of access to information.
