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.

So I get up and I lift my matress off the frame, now holding it 6 feet in the air. I can vaguely see the pulsating, but it's mostly gone now. That's when I see it.
My Wii which was 5 feet away from my bed, and at ground level, and was behind me when I was looking under the bed, was pulsating blue around the disc slot.
Well it turns out theres a feature if your friend sends you a mail to your friend code, you get the mail, and your wii pulsates to notify you. Even if the wii is off.
I abruptly turned that feature off. Then I smoked a bowl, because I needed to calm down. That was an ordeal!
I, uhhh, well, I'm not sure what to say. I feel like we've been through a lot just now, and I just need to take a minute...
Make sure you also read the part where I reply to my own message. Turns out Lemmy DOES have a character limit.
But the story all comes together in the end.
They read that part. They replied to it.
But also no it doesn't.
A guy and friend buy a Wii, discover it has lights.
Holy shit that felt like AI slop.
I dunno, I like people telling long-winded semi-pointless tangentially-related stories for some reason
Same. Some of the great storytellers were such. Many of them have/had editors! Still, my bleary eyes were not prepared.
Same. Maybe we suffer from the same malady? Let me know if you ever get a diagnosis.
I love the way you asked this. My only potentially relevant diagnosis is ADHD, and I've been "peer-reviewed" as autistic though I'm not formally diagnosed so I try not to claim the title.
Hahaha, thanks. I also enjoy watching movies from the middle, and trying to figure out what us going on.
That was interesting.
