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.

Correct usage of punctuation is equally important.
Edit: for the pedants :)
Nuh uh. You can also use incorrect punctuation,
Every punctuation is correct, just not always placed correctly.
,,()?,...
So I guess I can just like put all the punctuation at the beginning of a comment or whatever segment of text on any medium It looks like it takes a bit too much effort but I suppose it can protect me from scrutiny
There was an author who did that for the second edition of his book. First edition had no punctuation so the second edition he added a few pages of punctuation at the end for complainers. He said they could put them where they wanted to.
Reverse Polish Punctuation
What’s like putting?
It means putting something in a likely way (?)
That’s like a good answer.
I might easily be wrong, but isn't punctuation just part of grammar (along with spelling, which I used to confuse with grammar)?
For the OP, your title has two independent clauses, and you need to separate them with a comma before the word "and."
