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 bought an Animal Crossing calendar for the kitchen. It’s cute.
If you’re in the Apple ecosystem, use the digital calendar. If not, use Google’s. Set your yearly stuff like birthdays and anniversaries to repeat. Sync up between your desktop, laptop, phone, watch, whatever. Paper calendars can’t compete. Planner folks have been doing this for decades. Anyone can do it for free now.
The main reason I got the nexus 7 was basically to put calendar items in which auto synced when you got back home and hit your wifi.
I still have a Nexus 7 kicking around somewhere. I had it password locked and forgot the password, so I had to go back into TWRP and wipe. It's running some kind of CyanogenMod. I'm fine with that. But it's practically useless for anything. Maybe I could mount it and run its cable cleverly behind something, use it for... I dunno. It's pretty small. Those huge bezels! IIRC the speaker sucks, but it could Bluetooth to something. The only wireless speaker I have is a HomePod Mini (Apple), though, so that's a no go.
clock and calendar does not need much power or resolution.
