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.

Yes, this goes doubly so for the states that receive the most hand outs, deep red states every damn one, like Louisiana (Mike Johnson's state, yes that scumbag who desperately wants to cut medicaid).
Yes it is easy as a NE lefty to point and laugh bitterly at the leopards eating faces people screaming about getting their faces eaten by leopards, but just because people have stupid politics doesn't mean they deserve the horrible degree of suffering that is coming for them, poor working class people in red states are about to get hit so incredibly hard it is fucking tragic.
Yeah, we are gonna get hit everywhere, and most people aren't that far from being in scary financial straits in the US even if they aren't technically "working class" or the poorest of the poor on paper, it is going to be ugly because you are right, this is definitely the greatest assault on the lower classes since the Reagan era.
How horrible to be brutally reminded in 2025 of how fucked the air traffic controllers got for striking because of staffing issues and other reason during the Reagan era and how those issues in many ways were never actually addressed.
