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.

They don't care about you. They care about the people that do have the money.
Those people would pay for ad-free. Edit: according to OP's logic.
Some would, but it always surprises me to see how many people don't appear to be bothered by ads.
people have the ability to tune things out. ads never bother me.
The thing with ads is, even if they dont consciously bother you, they still rot your brain.
I block ads but only because they became super egregious and are a threat vector in some cases. My default state is "oblivious idiot". It's not that I'm not susceptible to marketing, it's that by the time I notice it you've already broken the web page I'm on and now I hate you.
No they wouldn't. I'm of those people. I don't pay for ad free.
Exactly.
Annoy you into paying.
It would be funny if all of the ads are for fake products, and just meant to be as annoying as possible to push people into subscriptions. That would explain all the poorly-acted piano lesson app ads.
Lol. Plenty of people who have money and don't.
