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.

NATO expansionism is the root cause of this war. NATO instigated this war and Russia got baited.
ROFLS you really believe that huh?
even after russia guaranteed ukraine's security in the budapest memorandum?
wow. amazing.
So did USA.
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.
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.
That's my whole point, only money has been given. US troops should have been deployed to Ukraine.
Silly vatnik, get your kremlin talking points right.
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.
I'll bite. In the 5 years leading up to Russia invading Ukraine, what did NATO do that warrants such a move by Russia?
lol. only took one comment. Scratch a tankie and a vatnik bleeds?
