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.

Mozilla is WAY better than Google. The fact that you're still arguing that a chromium browser is better than Firefox because of a feature you've already been told might not exist next year tells me that i really shouldn't trust your opinion on this. Just use a Firefox fork so you don't have to worry about it, don't give Google control over your stuff because their incentive is to ruin it.
I didn't start using Vivaldi because they support V2, I'm choosing to keep using Vivaldi because of their continued support of it.
I used to use Chrome for testing, but I've dropped it entirely now that ublock doesn't work.
If Vivaldi also drops support for proper ad blocking (I prefer ublock, but Vivaldi has their own blocker that doesn't use any addon framework, not V2 or V3), then I'll go elsewhere, but it sure as hell wouldn't be Firefox unless there was no other option (there are a precious few to even try, but I would try them all before going back to Firefox). And it would probably have to be a fork, in a desperate attempt at some amount of feature longevity.
Also, I don't give Google control over shit. You're making a ton of uninformed assumptions. My browser is a client to access content - nothing more - replaceable on a whim. I don't feel the need to interconnect every software, account, or hardware that comes my way. Those who do are trapped by their laziness and desire for convenience, and almost none of them have any idea what they've given up.
