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.

Eh I don't know, a ton of these kidnappers have been Hispanic and black.
I wouldn’t say a ton, but plenty, and any is too many (of any kind).
Or verifiably democrat or left leaning
I mean the evangelical security guard last known registered as a Republican, best friend said was Republican, and spoke out openly against pro choice democrats to the extent of making a list and murdering families and injuring others was actively voiced as being left leaning by the media simply because it helps their narrative. I don't think they are looking to verify anything.
"Our intelligence reports say they are not making nuclear weapons" -i dont care, we are bombing them. "Our intelligence reports say the facilities weren't completely obliterated" -i dont care, your intelligence is fake news because it doesn't fit our narrative.
But he had paper he printed out!
or hold political memes in their phone
Now they're on to me!
Stop that! You'll get him deported.
awh shit,i was hoping our tiananmen censorship equivalent would be better
Nah, it could be a white AF looking person from Germany that shared a meme of the vice president...
Do you mean the one from Norway? He wasn't picked up by a van, he was denied entry at the airport.
And it was because of his admitted drug use. But don't let facts get in the way of a good circle jerk
Ah, so you believe ICE?
When they finally settle on a story, and then announce it, just like they always do, then I, for one, believe we must always take out our boys in blue at their word.
Or Canadian.
Yeah. We're pretty concerned about Florida ICE killing our petit criminals on the way home.
