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 agree with that to some degree, I just can't stop thinking that there's something bigger happening thats above politics.
It would be nice if it were above politics. But what you're attributing to nefarious deeds... is literally what politics is. Power players trying to leverage anything they can to accumulate as much influence as possible. Sometimes these come in the form of scheming plans, but more often than not it's just manipulating any convenient happenstance that falls at their feet.
Have you seen the documentary Century of Self. It's about the government and marketing starting to use psychology and how it manipulates society.
It makes me think about data mining, gps, and surveillance. Even credit card usage can give you ads on your phone. Devices listen. The possibility for manipulating society and basically becoming it's master is there and is actually the game being played. Now look at it this way... When theres someone living off rhythm to society they can be targeted and manipulated pretty much from all avenues. This is what's behind the gangstalking "conspiracy"... But to discredit the reality of that the stalking is real the "conspiracy" is littered with talk about aliens and directed energy weapons. So when people start realizing they are "gangstalked", if they don't have a strong enough head on their shoulders they believe it because while all the other attributes have happened to them and they know those events were real, they see all this purposely spread false info of aliens and bullshit specifically marketed to make them look crazy. For some people it works on them because they don't understand the psychology behind social manipulation. And people can be smart with American dream success and still be victims.
Idk I'm going off...
Here's the documentary if your interested. https://youtu.be/eJ3RzGoQC4s
