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.

The US invaded Ukraine?
Sorry, that didn't happen.
No, but they did promise protection. So far, there has been no protection given, only money.
Problem with talking about USA in this conflict is everytime immediately assumes that anyone accusing USA of anything is automatically supporting Russia.
To the last ukrainian as Lindsey Graham or even Soros in 93' said.
The US doesn't care about their sucker proxies when they have served their use.
Just like the Kurds and many others.
Yeah. But the public is stupid enough to be brainwashed into thinking that the war was just and needed.
just tons and tons of ordinance, from the javelins that stopped the taking of Kiev to the artillery, apcs, aircraft and munitions for everything from autocannons to patriots, yeah, no protection whatsoever.
problem with talking about USA in this conflict are the spineless fucks who keep undermining our support to appease PUTIN. Ukraine deserves more, but we're stymied by the kompromised members of our government.
LOL what a joke
such an outstanding reply, loaded with insight and wisdom.
a belgian quisling... now that's fuckin funny
That's my whole point, only money has been given. US troops should have been deployed to Ukraine.
LOL sure start WW3, smart
Why did the US promise protection then? Bunch of fucking cowards, I guess.
They have always been cowards and let others do the fighting for them. They say a lot if it benefits them.
Sell them arms.
Get NATO vasals to also buy more arms.
Make Russia spend money on the war.
Anyone who isn't stupid knows they could never guarantee protection.
Except mercs and 'advisors' they will not and can not set one foot on ukrainian soil.
Russia says it is a red line and despite being wildly irresponsible the US won't cause WW3 just yet.
Silly vatnik, get your kremlin talking points right.
STFU nazi coward
what fuckin part about
didn't you comprehend pardner? too many big words?
Oh and I assume you're gonna sign up because otherwise you're just volunteering other people's kids for combat. for that matter, why didn't you go? you can go today if you have such a hardon for getting into the fight.

something tells me you won't, and tells me you probably never served a moment before this either.
Let's not get into who should go and who should not. It is pointless. US has been deploying troops worldwide since decades, they can easily deploy some in Ukraine but they don’t want to.
two seconds ago you were saying:
what, did your balls shrivel up the moment someone suggested you get up off your ass and help? fucking pogue.
You are missing the point. I am saying let's not talk about which individual US persons should go to fight.
Why? Why are you fine with sending US soldiers to die in europe, but unwilling to volunteer your own skin?
Because I am not from the US...
UK? Some nazi Baltic, Fin?
Where do suicidal warmongering idiots wanting WW3 come from?
That is not the point of the discussion
OK then.
Either way, nobody should go and fight.
Americans should learn to mind their business.
And meddling in other countries as they are used to has its limits.
Their time is over and will be put in their place.
Perfect but US has meddled too much for far too long to just give up on its commitments. It has to clean up its mess.
They should not start new wars, that is for sure.
They should not 'clean up'.
Everything they touch tuns to shit and there's even nothing they can do.
They've gotten all they can out of it, the advantages for them I mentioned earlier.
The catasthrophic secondary geopolitical consequences, such as a stronger Russia, BRICS and chism from most of the world with the west they will have to swallow.
Ukraine being lost is just a detail compared to that.
