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.

The gun and the bomb are difficult to mess up, but people survive those
I don’t see how you could survive a shotgun blast to the back or top of your mouth, much less a bomb. At the very least, the brain stem is vaporized, and you can’t survive without that. I suppose if you turned the barrel to the side and just blew out your cheek and jaw, perhaps, but that’s being stupid.
i heard a story of someone trying to kill themselves by shooting the roof of their mouth and all that happened was they blew their face off and lived
Yeah I’ve seen pics of such folks, very sad.
I don’t really see how that’s possible, but okay.
Stupid ppl wanna die too
Ppl can make shit bombs
Okay, well, I guess stupid people gonna suffer then.
