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.

That line made me cringe everytime I saw it.
Literally was given gold on Apollos goodbye post after I thanks Christian and said fuck u/Spez. I had to edit it and tell people to stop spending money on gold. It defeats the fucking purpose.
I had over 15000 Reddit coins when I cancelled my premium subscription last month. I’ve had it since they handed out years of premium when they killed Alien Blue. When it ran out I decided I enjoyed paying for no ads and still remembered when they’d tell you how much server time you paid for and would announce all the new servers coming online that came from gold users.
Anyway I used to get a kick out of spending my coins on people who hated it. I handed out more than a few in June, but it was money already spent.
Fair. I have a ton of coins from the alien blue era too. Never cost me anything. Good point.
