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 downvoted to fuck when I suggested this as a conspiracy theory on reddit. One of the reasons I left that place, because of the toxicity. I thought it was a thought that might have had some merit. You don't really know what's behind the glass on that sensor.
But tbh I think the risk to reward ratio wouldn't be worth it for a bit still (at least until electronics get a bit more user friendly)
You'd have to be capable enough to be able to fuck around with microelectronics (which a convinced enough hobbiest could do), horny enough to put a large amount of that effort solely to being horny (even when youre smucking around in the stinky toilet electronics), confident enough to know you electronics will truely be undetectable (or just dumb/rich enough - though with greater risk), a bit sociopathic to not care about peoples privacy at all, and finally own a public enough place you can implement all this.
I feel like that's a reasonably small subset of people, so personally I'm willing to risk them catching a low res video of my shitty asshole.
That being said I dont want to discredit youre theory, just give my take on it
There's no shame in being part of the minority.
