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.

Preventable deaths from covid. Which is where we got when trump REFUSED to take any action for the health of this countries citizens.
In Ohio we have/had Mike DeWine as govenor. Now, DeWine is a republican. And if covid never happened, I wouldn't like DeWine in any way. I don't agree with his politics. I don't agree with his policies. In general I don't support him.
However, for the duration of covid, he listened to health experts. He put in place safety regulations and lockdowns designed to help every single citizen in the face of an at the time uncurable deadly pandemic.
He put aside his ego. He put aside his political party. He put aside all the bullshit and did what was right WHILE HIS OWN PARTY MEMBERS THREW HIM UNDER THE BUS FOR IT.
For that, I have to begrudgingly respect him for what he did. He put the human first at the cost of his own career.
Meanwhile, trump let 1 million plus people die, and shrugged.
:(
I had coworkers that died... working at a hospital during that time was a nightmare
Same with Cuomo in NYC. Can’t stand the guy, but he took covid as seriously as Fauci suggested. It was rough, since the first hot spot was in New Rochelle and we didn’t know much about it at first. Nevertheless, people bitched and moaned about lost business while refrigerated trucks full of corpses were lining the streets.
Is that when your lips touched?
