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.

In China during the one-child policy, some people had multiple more than just one kid. You couldn't buy that with money iirc. Tbh I don't know much about China's form of communism though
China followed Maoism, which was also an authoritarian state. In such theories, they are "communist" in that they ostensibly seek to progress to a communist society. Tbh I doubt the sincerity of such a pursuit.
There are communities that could be genuinely considered communist in its true form, but people typically don't cite them as examples of communism working since they're not nation-states ... which is the whole point lol
Not certain, but I'm fairly sure you could pay for more children.
Right, there were permits for it, but with what money, back before it went capitalist? Anyway, it was one of the perks of the ruling class.
