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.

Wired headphones had the same benefit... Walk away too far and your phone is either yanking the buds out of your ears, or falling off whatever surface it was on, holding onto the cable for dear life.
The law of wires states that if there is a doorknob for it to be caught on, it will be caught on the doorknob
If you need radios to replace a meter of cabling on the same object - a person - you need to find an architect and apologize. They like Lego, so bring a small gift.
Cables catching on doorknobs? Never had it, never seen it, never heard of it; not even in the walkman decades.
Will a cable save my walkman from falling into the ocean when I lean over a stanchion to check on my diver and not cost me a yellow walkman and a new copy of orphan? Can confirm it will not. But neither will the radios.
I still use wired earbuds sometimes. I've gotten them caught on doorknobs plenty whenever I forget to clip the wire to my shirt. Still prefer them over Bluetooth ones. Wired earbuds don't run out of battery or randomly lose connection. I also remember a number of my friends citing their earbuds getting caught as a reason for switching to Bluetooth ones. It's not unheard of.
