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.

Nowhere did I say people should have the right to "butcher" others.
No, experienced people having authority over inexperienced is not anti-anarchy, unless they always hold authority even in the face of a good idea.
Of course consensus is important in ANY socially-bound system, and the indians were correct. When the majority decide to be fucking morons, it's time to go. Or worst case, take a nice trek deep into the Paradox of Tolerance and kill the belligerent ring leaders.
Yes, there always has to be some hierarchy... the ENTIRE FUCKING POINT of "anarchy" is that authority has to be JUSTIFIED, preferably at all times. Only stupid children think anarchy literally means zero authority.
You're only being gaslit successfully because you're clearly too stupid to pull the obvious axioms out of such an ideology...
