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.

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.
