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.

Favourite word in the English language: snarge.
If you are whale watching and get the most from a blow hole, know that you are being sneezed on and are covered in millions of bacteria
You're covered in millions of bacteria just standing in the metro or walking in a public bathroom, probably.
Don’t forget the gut bacteria that are an essential component of what makes you “you” and yet doesn’t share your dna. Still blows my mind
Blows my guts, and I'm thankful for it
Put that on my gravestone
True! But I’m not under the illusion that I am in magical whale mist.
Psst. There's bacteria right behind you!
Stop, or i can't sleep tonight ...
youre more bacterial dna than human dna by volume
