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.

Most people I know that are obsessed with sports are some of the laziest sacks of flesh Ive seen. Almost none of them do any physical activity other than yelling at the screen over their fat beer gut.
Sitting on the couch watching mind numbing idiotic games of men in tight cloths running after a ball does not make you athletic or fit, if that's what you're thinking.
People hate sports cause it's one of the lowest forms of entertainment, and because the people who enjoy it are misbhaved degenerates and obnoxious.
Watching sports is just the easiest thing you can immerse in without needing any significant mental capability or capacity.
You do understand that all it is is just stupid games to distract all of you.
It is unethical, it wastes huge amounts of resources, it is connected to racism nationalism and all kinds of nasty shit.
Enjoy watching Millioners kicking a ball on your flatscreen
Lmao.
It only looks easy because you clearly have never spent a single second trying to understand it. What would you rather people do? Watch skinny kids with vitamin D deficiencies play video games? 🤣
Do you really believe watching sports is some achievement? If so than good work kid keep it up.
The fact that you think they are different is straight up pathetic.
They are both pointless games to.pass the time as a form of escapism, they are both regarded as significant while they exists only as opium for the masses.
What I rather? That these people will spend their time doing something productive for themselves and for what's around them instead of wasting it infr9nt of screens with a ball bouncing, telling strangers online how important their silly games are and how smart they are for watching them.
Lol sure thing tech bro.
People have a right to leisure activities. You belittling them just makes you look petty.
Although larger font will make you correct still no one has a right if that leisure is harmful to others.
Even the way you talk screams 'generic sports fanatic'
HA. So something that harms no one but the players, who voluntarily play said games, is bad.
Dude, I played 2 sports in college, and got the privilege to tryout professionally for sports. Nothing about me is generic. What I can see from this conversation is you have some deep seated psychological hatred towards sports, and people who enjoy them.
I'd recommend you talk to a professional so this doesn't keep eating at you.
Oh did you now? Did you also score 4 touchdowns in a single game? Facinating
Was not talking about the so called players. Also, it not hatred but disgust with the obsessive behaviour and its consequences
Geez, for someone complaining about how dumb sport fans are, this sure is some fucking atrociously bad-quality writing.
I've*. misbehaved*. racism, nationalism, and* (though the Oxford comma is optional). millionaires* (note: this is both correcting the spelling and the Random capital letter).
Sure is. So?
Oof, the guy complaining about how dumb sport fans are can't figure out basic very obvious subtext.
What is the subtext? That spelling equals intelligence?
You were one of those "gifted kids" that can barely function as an adult now, don't you?
We can speak in my mother tongue if you're interested in perfect grammar, will that help your simple American mind? It seems that you understand the main point of what i said, despite the spelling errors, but clearly cannot think of anything worthy to say about it, so you try to make noise to hide your inability to think.
If you could formulate some response that is relevant to the content of my message, I'd be happy to continue this discussion. If you want to talk about my writing we can do it offline.
Ooh, yet more proof of functional illiteracy. Nice.
