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.

As a Former PWFBL-HS USA FB DE, TE Positional Coach & Degreed & certified in many areas Physical Education Facilitator, that required two-college level courses in Kinesiology & biology of sports, after switching from ESE…
I think there are some that are not in the particular sports that if they trained hard & for long enough
Or
If as already pointed-out in other posts, if already athletes in other sports competed in sports, that have crossover skills, then they could set new world records in test of those crossover skills,
But only some, I think most people are probably thinking too many people could do it.
I compare to contestants on Jeopardy, there are former long t8me champions, that had everyone wondering what made them so smart, bar tenders & Etc., but again, not as many as most of us would believe.
