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.

I hate devices that I can't plug in and leave plugged in. Nothing but useless trash that I know will ultimately fail and need to be replaced, instead of easily repairing with a new pile of copper strands.
Cables or bust. I don't even use wifi as my main Internet. Much prefer wired Ethernet for stability and extra security.
I'd like to imagine that you've found an ethernet cable that mimics the long coiled phone cords of the '80s and '90s so that you can walk around the house with your desktop PC chatting with your girlfriends all evening after school.
I wish lol, I loved hanging the receiver from the cable to untangle this mess
I don't know, man, walking around with a whole desktop PC, with monitors, keyboard and mouse? that does not seem to be easy. but sure it adds to the fun factor of imagining it with the curly cable!
Wires are life.
Learn to manage (route, store, wind, respect bend radius, etc) cables and reliability will be your reward.
