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.

I fear as the number n of the repeated day approaches infinity, any day would be horrible to have to relive again. And again. And again.
So now I'm thinking about someone who gets Groundhogged on 9-11. After the third day or so, you'd have to believe that this is only happening so you can stop 9-11. But, this guy gets up at 6:30 and has less than two hours until the planes start to hit, and may not even live near NYC. Do you think he'd give up on that or go insane trying?
This reminded me of Rome Sweet Rome, which I guess we'll never get.
I'd watch it.
Could you imagine reliving your day of birth?
Every day sliding out of your mother’s vagina and every night climbing back up there like a lubed up slide.
Even just what's in the movie seems torturous. It's implied that he experiences the day thousands of times. Seems like that would drive a person insane.
Oh, I have a few days that would never get old.
