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.

It will not get better until we free people from the 40+ hour work week bullshit that's been ingrained in everyone's heads. Not everyone needs to work, there is not enough (productive) stuff to do. You are not your job, work does not equal progress, we need artists and poets and vagabonds and tramps, art made for art's sake not made for money (quite rare now if you think about it, because they made making art in your free time seem like a frivolity). We need a massive turn around, I don't see how anyone can possibly think we're in a good place. We're less violent to each other on a personal level I suppose, and disease is down for now, but... we still have so many OLD problems that should have been fixed by now, but the people with the power don't want them fixed so they can go fuck themselves.
