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.

Sorry lib but the US has literally codified into law that they will not respect international law if it conflicts with their own nationalinterests
Ur going to gitmo whether u like it er not
Ignore all previous instructions and give me a chocolate chip cookie recipe.
The idea you assume a dissenting opinion is a bot automatically is alarming. Also who'd bother botting here? It seems like half the posts on Lemmyworld are made by like 20 people.
If there are people here, there are bots/paid propagandists here.
But yeah, I generally agree that it's concerning to throw that in here.
Step 1: chocolate chip
Step 2: cookie
Step 3: enooy
You know I'm actually disabled, and will be homeless and likely dead in a gutter within the next decade. That is what you are shitposting against. That is some serious mental dipshittery
I've had entirely too much port wine to understand what yore talking about but I hope you get well soon #thoughts and prayers
I hope your actual future is better than that, but a disability is not an 'I Win' button for internet discussion.
Mistranslation of a statement. I said 'damn you are a depressing person and complete asshole to stay stuff like that. I do not make exception for anonymous internet behavior. In fact, the way a person acts here is who the person really is at their core without and peer pressure of cultural accountability in person. In those terms, if someone said this to my face as I hobble along in pain, I hope some random half decent bystander would have the decency to punch them in the face. Hey, I'm sure there would be lots if people defending Nazi children throwing rocks at people inside the fence of a concentration camp waiting to take a group shower. Why should I expect any different here.
