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 haven't owned a computer in well over a decade. Between my phone and various other gizmos, I rarely need one. And when I have to do my taxes, I use my computer at work.
Sure, there's are some PC games I'd like to try, but none of them are worth the upfront cost of a PC.
That's insane to me.
I hate "computing" on tablets or phones, ick. Guess i'm an old fogey.
If you got laid off how would you even apply for another job? Write up a resume on your phone? Sounds like a nightmare.
If I got laid off, how I type my resume would be the least of my worries.
... no I think that's actually the first of your worries. You need to find a new job, which means you need to work on your resume immediately. This is something you should start thinking about now because we're basically in a recession.
