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 removed the numbers from my username. Because I'm all grown up now.

I was born Kamehameherp, and I will die Kamehameherp.
I’d actually argue that it’s easier to get good names simply because each instance can have its own username pool. For instance, my username could also be used on other instances by other people. Me creating this account doesn’t stop someone from creating the same name elsewhere.
I regret my Reddit user since it used a slur that I no longer want to associate with but now I also regret this user since I came up with a better one a few days ago
Oh well

That's what I was thinking too. All 11 inches of me.

It would have been excellent comedic timing of your username was something stupid like shitsmear69420 or onelongboob1978 or whatever!
(I swear to God, if I see either one of those user names lurking around here I'm going to poop a brick)

Look, I've had some form of this cringe-ass username for 20 years now, this is just part of who I am now.
see last time I thought other people were my problems ~12 years ago.
Now I just have people problems instead of like, homework problems, or computer problems, or car problems.
Wife cheats on me? People problem. My project a month an a half late because the previous project said "I dunno and gave up?" (haha you bastards could have written the exact same code im doing now three years ago) People problems.
Taxes? People problems. Family sick or injured or in surgery? People problems.
I got my first name :)
I still used numbers
Meh, im too old to learn new patterns. Same username for me
I wouldn't enable 2fa yet either there are some bugs, and the code it generated for me didn't work and locked me out of my account for a good bit. I'm not sure why but the 2fa link didn't work for me so I copied the secret out of the url and put it in my authenticator but it never worked. Just fyi.

I don't think my username is embarrassing enough.
Oh well. Maybe on the next Revolution.
My Reddit name was “ihaveredonme” which is not how British people would say it.
It's how I've chosen to see myself from this day on.
Oh my username screwed all night alright. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Meh. It's not embarassing if the literature i'm exploring is totally ~~porn~~ not porn.
