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.

Sadly its all nostalgia. I really do think they're better though hahha
Winston tastes good, like a cigarrette should !
At the least they were human made. Commercials are ai slop now. Cringe.
Woof woof, zoopals!
exactly!!! 'ai slop' is the perfect word for it lol. back then it was human made and u could feel it. now everything looks so fake and cringe.. it rly makes me appreciate the old stuff way more tbh
I always say we peaked in 2012. That was the best time of technology advances before it all went downhill FAST
There is a lot of nostalgia for sure, due to ads being shoved in our faces. But 90s ads are insane. Everything today looks so flat and boring, but there were crazy Dutch angles, camera zooms, and neon colors in the 90s and aughts.
