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.

Elon Musk was not middle class. Unbelievably dumb statement. He grew up in one of the largest houses in Pretoria. Don't get jealous though as his father was a child rapist. Like most wealthy people, rotten to the core.
I did some googling and I would say comfortably upper middle class. I guess ur definition and mine are different.
Glad you did the right thing and looked it up instead of talking out your ass.
Is that u admitting I was right wrapped in a bad faith personal attack? Perhaps let's try keep to discussing ideas instead of insulting each other like mid witted barbarians.
No, I am saying you were full of shit talking out your ass and then you looked it up and saw you were wrong.
I don't like what you have to say at all with the pull yourself up by the bootstraps, ignore privilege, subtle racist garbage.
Talking up Elon like he is not a piece of shit and lying about his upbringing made me chime in since I have actually read about the loser.
Bro what? I was talking based on NY personal knowledge. You questions that knowledge. I googled it and turns our I was right. Now ur just blatantly trying to gaslight me?
Your boos mean nothing to me I've seen what makes u cheer. I have not said 1 single racist thing your interpretation and your stereotyping of groups is racist as fuck tho.
Bro he builds cool rockets and is actively pushing the boundaries of the human species capabilities I don't really care if he is a good or bad person he is doing things that are in my interest. I make decisions based on logic and statistics not emotional feeling about some guy
