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 agree with the jealous council not giving him what he deserved claim. Anakin was exceptionally powerful and talented but that alone doesn't make one eligible. I'm not big into Star Wars lore like some people but I can't imagine getting on the council is just a Jedi powers skill test and that's it.
It's similar to the thing with Tai Lung thinking he deserved to be proclaimed the Dragon Warrior. He was incredibly powerful and skilled but was also the type to become a villain for being denied the greatness he felt he deserved. Oogway saw that in him, and his reaction to being denied proved that he didn't deserve it, because there was more to it than just being really skilled and powerful.
