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.

Probably, there are also bots on lemmy already bcz it's grown quite a bit. They are definitely trying to direct the conversation as well.
That reminds me of the time I bought a CyberTruck, my other IRL Lemmy friends thought I was super cool for buying a CyberTruck. Basically everyone on Lemmy owns a CyberTruck. Really great financing rates for CyberTruck, am I right guys?
If you’re going to start spreading conspiracies about government bots astroturfing our small corner of the internet you’re gonna need to present at least some kind of evidence.
Easy: "Everyone I don't like is either a shill or a bot!"
Uh, the Russia is doing that on every possible platform. Why would ours be an exception? What makes Lemmy so special?
It's too small to bother with?
We have some odd encounters with allegedly non tankies pro Russia account but I couldn't tell if they were a bot or rather just a useful idiot
Not worth the effort, to be honest
According to lemmygrad, if you aren't a absolute Vanguardist Marxist-Leninist Hardliner, you're a CIA sleeper agent.
According to the rest of lemmy, everyone on lemmygrad is a bot
Oh, not everyone. Those people exist IRL. The world has over 8 Billion people, surely there are some weirdos.
