Cops are like vampires. They can't come into your house unless invited.

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 was once at a house party where the local PD showed up. The host asked if they jad a warrant, then immediately slammed the door in their face. They kicked down the door and he ran out the back.
Within 10 mins, there were about 20 state troopers, with ARs aimed at the 6 local PD officers, forcing them to strip down out of their underwear (to prevent them from hiding any 'illegal objects lockpicka or weapons) and hauling them off in SUVs, while all of us in our late teens watched.
Turns out the host was the nephew of Lt. Colonel of the entire state's state police forces. So when he called in that armed assailants who must be pretending to be local Leo's, since no officer would ever break down a door without a warrant, they were only too happy to respond with full force.
