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.

Nah, vaping will be the Gen z all have lead poisoning of Gen z.
What makes you say that? I’m not saying vaping is healthy but there’s no source to say that they’re poisoning anyone…unless you mean disposables.
They're starting to get into the science of it, and it ain't looking good. Yes, disposables are a big part of the problem.
I think the laws regarding ingredients matter. I’ve yet to see anything that isn’t made up or embellished.

This is America, you aren't getting a good regulatory regime on anything. Especially not for things you buy from vape stores (stores covered in ugly ass LED rope lights that look like they are run exclusively by and for juggalos).
Im not American. But I am aware of your regulations around food, water, etc. Good luck.
Cannabis.
It's basically mental health disorders in herbal form.
Public opinion is finally starting to shift from its a panacea to it's a drug, in the face of decriminalization throughout areas of North America.
I smoke weed and I also work in the field of addiction recovery, so pls don't start the anti science denialism in reply to me.
Wouldn't anti science denialism just be science avocation? 😆
Lol hey you're right!
Go yell at the clouds some more old man, but in this case, those would be vape clouds so you better get out quickly because they disappear like mad
