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.

Well shit, that's a core memory reactivated.
It's crazy how vividly you can remember something like that, while moments earlier having absolutely no consciousness of it.
Here's a fun little tidbit. Remember Marc Summers, and Double Dare? Remember how messy that show got?
Well Marc was actually a germophobe, and every time he got messy he would be having an anxiety attack as the show was being recorded. On double dare. DOUBLE DARE!!!! The show that was so messy, it's logo literally had a blob of green slime as the backdrop!
And every moment you see him, covered in mess, smiling away, just know that internally, he's having a panic attack and in hell.
Yay childhood memories!
