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.

Death Boom sounds cooler
Kinda the ultimate name for a boomer shooter. And I just now realised how easily misinterpreted that name can be, had never thought of the "boomer" part as the generational term. It has no connection to that but I absolutely think many people think it does.
Death Boom sounds cool but the opposite would be "Birth Boom".
I think it should be "Corpse Boom".
I remember seeing "papy boom" in some French school books.
It's going to be a lot cooler, too... On average these people have destroyed the world at a higher rate than those before them.
I agree 💀
"deleted by creator"
Yes indeed
I mean, thats kind of taking the religious route.
Unless you're claiming the greatest generation is coming back from the dead as zombies just to kill their children.
......which is totally a thing they would do.
Who'd have thought me being a tosser and replying to the wrong comment would spark such a theological debate!
I agree Deleted makes sense
Darth Boomer: "No... I am your father."
Luke Y-walker: "No, that's not true! That's impossible!"
It sounds like Guile's special move for when someone's royally pissed him off.
Morpheus toon makes room for the death boom.
Also 'boom' sounds a lot more fun, like a party with games or refreshments.
But is there something cooler?
Corpse boom?
Grave Wave?
HEARSE FARCE
Boomer doom boom?
Sick band name
Dammit, you beat me too it
Boomer death death boom.
