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.

Now I must hear what it is you do, that being used as target practice is a part of your current life.
Retail management. I recently left my job as a district manager for a dollar branded store chain.
I also in my free time help abused people get to the shelters.
I’ve been shot at three times 2 were protecting women leaving, once a banned customer who saw me out on a walk.
Edit: to be clear I was helping women pack not abducting then. When I saw “2 were protecting women” I was talking about me protecting the women not them shooting at me for abducting someone.
Seems like you need to go get a bodyguard certification so you can fight back.
I bet you’re talking about dollar tree or one of the chains they have. Really doesn’t surprise me; the management for that company is a few hairs short of a slumlord. Stay safe
I think the dude replying to me is a dissatisfied sleeper agent.
“The don’t pay your bills, you need certificatation and barb at the service desk is mean to me!”
Dude wear unionizing, don’t fight me, join me!
