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.

You know, I just realized how removed I am from German as a language.
I saw those lyrics and in my head I couldn’t help but read it in the voice and musical style of Rammstein.
That sounded pretty good, too.
But I also realized I don’t really have any other exposure to German, outside of singular scenes in some movies or tv-shows.
To be fair, in such child songs there are often words used, that aren't really common in daily live - besides sometimes when talking with children, but mostly they are there for the rhyme
'Mampfer' is just roughly translated as Eater, which would be more 'Esser'
'mampfen' is better translated as munch(-ing)
So, Trashmuncher probably should have been the better translation
Also the rhyme with 'zu Hauf' comes from 'Haufen', which is a pile
