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.

Me and husband each have our own blankets and sheets and such on the one king bed. Cause he's a furnace and I'd explode if I got that hot. It's much nicer.
Scandinavian sleeping, it's the best!
Add ear plugs and you described by bedroom
How do you ear plug people hear your alarm in the morning? Ive considered trying it but I already have a hard enough time waking up.
Alarms for the deaf come with bed shakers / vibrators. You just chuck a little puck under your pillow / mattress and it definitely wakes you
Different earplug guy here: smart watches and some other devices vibrate or tap on your wrist.
That’s how I wake up, plus I don’t disturb my wife!
Yep, that's me too
My wife always claims that I "steal her blanket", so we also got one each. But they're each 2x2.2m so if we wanna share one, we can
I love that one person downvoted you for this comment. I think the internet was a bad idea.
I try not to pay attention to the vote count, and just let my comments uhhh do their thing which is 'rambling' probably!
Yes, separate covers, this is the way.
They come in the night and steal them otherwise.
