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.

Yeah, there was like, a 15 year period. Where nobody ran standard cursor on their desktops. People would have these crazy animated things that would just drive you crazy.
Good riddance. The mouse cursor should be almost invisible, not draw attention to itself.
Linux solved a problem I didn't really know I was having. getting old, lose the cursor because old. Wiggle the mouse around and the cursor grows like the grinches heart long enough for me to see it, then it goes back to normal.
ms.. they put a white circle which you can't see if you press some weird ass keyboard combo that may or may not also open edge and attempt to create a ms account (I dunno if this is true, they just suck)
Which distro/desktop environment? I have only seen that on macOS.
KDE has it, I believe it was added in either Plasma 6 or 6.1.
