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 should have taken a super short nick, but alas.
Oh well. Maybe on the next Revolution.
Cool and anonymous enough.
It's how I've chosen to see myself from this day on.
Are people this averse to making a new account?
Seems like privacy-oriented Lemmy wouldn't care that much but even Reddit with its karma system wasn't that big of a hurdle to new accounts
Edit: apparently Lemmy DOES actually have a karma system
I barely changed mine but I heard that you can't trust someone with boy in their name and also I grew older so it was time to change mine.
My Reddit name was “ihaveredonme” which is not how British people would say it.
Totally not a screwup
Too late
Its the username I wanted on reddit. Blast whoever had it there, vengeance is mine!
Still unable to.
Oh my username screwed all night alright. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Meh. It's not embarassing if the literature i'm exploring is totally ~~porn~~ not porn.

Well, I'm much happier with this one than my old reddit one anyway.

I hated my Reddit username so much. I feel free!!
