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.

That's not the case 😕
Yes it is.
Perhaps you're in a not so lovely social bubble?
Perhaps you are in denial.
I mean....
I know for a fact it is something I don't do. I even tell people off and get mad when someone tries to engage in it with me. As such, I know that when you say "everybody", I am sure, for a fact, 100%, that you're wrong.
I don't need to prove that no-one does it. I know some people do it... Though the ones I know to do it, I either ask they improve their behavior, or I stop interacting with them.
You can't prove that I do it. You can only refuse to believe me... But you'd still be wrong.
And if you're wondering how I deal with it when I have a problem with someone, since I don't complain about it to someone else... That's simple. I carefully plan out how to tell the person I have a problem with about it, to their face. Thats the only way the problem can be solved and our relationship improved.
As far as I can tell, that's how every mature adult I know functions.
That's a heartwarming yet completely irrelevant point. We should discuss my point instead.
It's not irrelevant, because it directly proves you wrong. You only consider it irrelevant because it contradicts your narrative.
Insightful and psychic. You must be a whiz at a Sudoku.
I don't need to be insightful or psychic to see you're full of shit
And a poet as well!
You're not very good at this "looking unbothered and flippant" act.
Cool.
You might want to retract your refutation of @iii@mander.xyz comment then, since it isn't a discussion you're interested in having.
I'll leave it. It's a fine example of evasive squirming, to which I referred elsewhere in this thread.
I hope you'll enjoy the multiple additional retorts you'll be getting, then.
People wont read this far just to find a reason not to tell someone off.
Call me a completist
No surprise everyone talks shit about you.
It only takes one example to refute a universal claim.
Not really.
