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.

If we do things as you seem to want, then there's no point even having separate communities. Let's just have one big bin and every day we can throw 10,000 conversation into it like junk.
The rules are there for a reason.
You might have a better experience on Reddit.
But that's the point. I don't want to have to go there to have a good experience. I want to have it here.
The world's a tough place, Karen. If you want to redefine what a shower thought is, you're free to create your own community. I see nothing in this post that contravenes "thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming", and while I see you screeching that rule 2 is broken, consider that the title is, in fact, a complete thought. The text can be seen as followup or self-examination - do you need an explanation of what that is?
