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.

We both think similarly, and not being serious all the time certainly helps! We've been married getting on for 40 years now although I spent so much time working away from home, I often joke we've only actually lived together for 8 weeks or so.
If you've ever seen 'Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing' on the BBC, that's us. Everyone needs a Bob Mortimer in their life and I was lucky enough to find mine back in 1981.
Cool, I am glad it works for you.
My parents are a mess, should be divorced long ago, probably should never have met, I know the effect it have on my existence, but not been easy, thanks to what they learned & put into practice & their way too young as well birth of me. The facts is my grandparents were always verbally fighting, terrible matches & not good people ( arguably who extended family as well, because cycle of horrible parenting, especially the males of both sides, raised terrible people.
So, I am glad to read marriage works for you, but for me, I do not trust the insitution & think it is better without it. Of course I am expecting the perfect woman to even fall in love & I am not perfect, LOL. I doubt I will ever get married & Know, I will never ever have children, overpopulation-overdensity & extinction of All Living Earth & thus All Living Beings will eventually happen are reasons to.
My roommates cannot get enough of Brit Box & public media obsession with UK TV & movies, I think we fought a war to get away from. So, I will have to stop & check it out.
Cannot find it, anywhere, WOW, DID NOT THINK THAT WAS POSSIBLE.

Hmm, perhaps YouTube?
The only I yet to look, not a fan, but hate less than rest of piece of BLANKS social media. I will look though, because I am interested, but you would think it would come-up when I duckduckgoed for it.
