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.

I don't ask this in a judgemental way: why would you choose to live in rural Brazil over Germany?
If you’re not habituated to cold winters, it can be difficult to live in a place that has them. I’m from New England and live in Germany, so I’m always slightly disappointed by the winter (I’m not in Bavaria), but for people who are from warm places, the cold literally hurts. You adjust to a point, but especially if you’re older or skinnier, it might be a struggle every time.
The winter here is no less disappointing 😁
Job opportunities (in the big city 60km away) and my family lives here. I am moving back to Germany next year tho...
Oh that makes sense. Hope it works out for you.
