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.

Found the popular girl.
You aint got to be popular to have a crew, just a few other idiots to get along with and do a stupid teenager shit.
Oh, no. Can't confirm. Ever since I was 5, I have been viewed by people who don't get to know me as scary looking. People generally run from me.
You've heard of resting bitch face? Well this is more like resting horror film serial killer face. And then people are forced to get to know me, and they're like ".......so, you seriously don't murder entire villages, and burn the corpses and enslave the women and children?"
And I'm like "......no?"
And they're like "Oh.....cause that's what everyone is saying about you. That you're some kind of village killing murderer like ghengis khan".
And I say ".......we live in Cleveland. Don't you think if one man burned one of the top 10 American cities down by himself, it would be global news?"
And she said "It's Cleveland. Nobody gives a shit about us"
And I say "You're in Cleveland right now. Does the city looked burned and decayed to you???"
And she said "The east side does....."
And I say "Yeah, ok. Fair enough."
Kind of hard when the popular kids decide to single you out and you become a pariah. There were a couple of groups I was on the periphery of but nobody ever backed me up when I was getting fucked with. I had 4 dudes I would consider to be friends but we didn't really have common interests and lost 2 of them to a car accident halfway through. Fuck high school.
