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.

The real trick is that everything doesn't fit nicely in a nice neat little glove-fitty block irl, so mirror that.
Mixed zoning doesn't necessarily mean you got office abutting residential abutting commercial abutting industrial.
Think of a suburb/city burb. Do you know any that have like 20 blocks of residential? None! Doesn't exist! Maybe like 2-4 blocks max before you break up the neighborhoods with some commercial and light industry or some offices. Even residential neighborhoods have gas stations on the arterial roads connecting them.
So like, don't look where the wind blows, where the fertile soil is, and say "okay that quadrant of the map is for all my industry." You'll get high resource costs due to traffic. Don't make a mega commercial center, not even Broadway in nyc...
God dammit I havent played in like 2 months. Fine. I'll make a new city.
