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.

Idk, sounds like my views may be challenged and I may grow as a person. No way will I engage with that prospect! Consider the context in which I made my statement. Every loud atheist I've met (the type of person that crowbars it into as many conversations as possible regardless of the topic at hand) has also celebrated Christmas. In this case I'm referring to 3 specific people in my personal life. It being a holiday today made me think about that while I was literally in the shower before leaving to go see family. I'm not necessarily surprised at the responses I'm getting but I am entertained by the way people are reacting to a shower thought post. The elite big brains in this comment section are so cool, cultured and smart. Especially you.
Some combination of literal child and troll, I expect.
Troll. I didn't set out for that with this post though. I usually keep trolling to the shitpost community. Have a good night sibling 💋
