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 was just starting to type "wut. people still buy calendars??" until i saw that. Phones kinda made them obsolete.
Less useful most definitely, but those are still used.
I have one at my home, though yeah that sees minimal use. Usually next to the fridge and birthday invites or any invites are usually stored on the fridge. It's a quick glance to the calendar to see where that specific date lands in the week.
Similar reason why we have one at work. At manufacturing, all the runs we do have shipment date and it's easier to just glance at the calendar on the wall to see how much time there's left to determine most efficient way to organize different runs.
My SO has like 3 calendars and doesn’t use the one on her phone.
I've had a smart phone since before the term existed.
Paper calendars still have their uses.
