Showerthoughts
41335 readers

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.

Oh jeez.
Um...
2TB nvme for my desktop.
256GB nvme "test drive" that formerly contained my Linux Mint environment.
128GB SATA SSD for my old Windows 10 data.
512GB drive in my rescued HP Elite x2.
Couple of "scrap" 1 TB HDDs that are donating parts to a drive revival project that has probably failed at this point.
Another 1 TB in a rescued Lenovo laptop that I'm refurbing to give away.
8x 2TB SSDs in a supermicro server I'm playing around with, 2x 1TB nvme in there as well.
Oh, another drive of unknown size in another laptop 2-in-1 that may get refurbed and given away.
Maybe 19 or so drives, and that's not counting my work computer, or my partner's computer.
Edit: fuck. Forgot I have a SATADOM in the server as well.
Edit Edit: also 2x 2TB USB HDDs for Lightroom backups.
