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.

Also, Batman was born with his power. (His power is money).
You can't use money to fight crime, lol. Otherwise USA's police departments would be doing it.
Study after study shows money spent on food, housing and education does more to prevent crime than policing and incarceration.
what about punching and batarangs and batcomputers
Money spent on punching, batarangs, and bat computers do not reduce crimes as much as money spent on food, housing and education.
Also not superpowers.
i would like to see a link to the study on batarangs please
Will this link suffice? Lance used bananarangs developed by Orangutans, almost the same thing.
yes i guess that is definitive
Well look at the state of Gotham and tell me it's different.
All research and successful drug policy shows that treatment should be increased, and law enforcement decreased while abolishing mandatory minimum sentences.
Investing in children reduces crime. So yes, you can fight crime with money.
You can. They just don't.
Superheroes does not exist
