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.

Oh max comment depth reached, but you're still sore for some more public humiliation? Sure, buddy.
You can't address anything you've said in the thread. I love commenting, because I can talk about the argument I made and how everything I've said has been correct, while you've been fumbling about and now have to avoid literally everything you said because you made stupid mistakes that you're ashamed to admit.
You didn't account for inflation, and just looked at the price of gold while arguing it's value has gone through "exponential" growth? This is hilarious.
You have delusions of not supporting drug cartels when you're "holding bitcoin" (meaning you've probably invested in it after it became popular due to the drug business, but if you had won some from like a esports tournament before it was popular then you wouldnt be supporting drug cartels just by holding on to it, which is why words matter.)
You've also avoided telling me what your native language is. Prolly because it prolly is English and you're just ashamed to admit how stupid you have been. :D
"exponential" indeed.
But hey, I know your ego will force you to come here with some other emoji reply. I've seen it literally thousands of times. I'll keep going as long as you want to. Becuase it's not me you're lying to. It's yourself. You simply cant accept yourself, that you were wrong, you were stupid. It happens. It's nothing to be ashamed of. You learned new things. Accept it an move on.
