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.

Real breakthrough you made there, champ.
How do you expect me to respond to this?
You just did.
Was that what you expected?
It was a nonsense answer and dodged the question. It doesn't say anything. All in all, a prime example of negativity, and it seems that they might be habitually negative by the looks of their profile picture and history with politics
Person could be having some fun with you though is all.
Sure, but that's still anti-social behavior.

I'm still not convinced this user isn't a bot.
Ok and who are you? Why should anyone care about whether you are convinced or not? Are you a bouncer at a private club?
Are you running many of your replies through LLMs and just posting the output here? Is that the reason behind the bizarre phrasing of some of your posts and weird non-sequiturs? 🤔
Nice dodge. No, i am just literate. I read books. I write papers. I could guess that you may be projecting.
I'm a user in an online space in a time when we're constantly invaded by nefarious agents of chaos and their bots, hence the concern. I thought that was clear so I didn't feel like writing it down... but, fair enough, quacky, you've convinced me so I'll stop the questioning. And I'm sorry for any inconvenience I caused you. 👋
This comment thread is creating an amazing rainbow on the left of my screen.
I'm pretty sure that user IS a bot, though. Weird ass responses
Relax I was poking fun. Learn about it sometime.
yeah ok pal. Narcissistic talking style.
By telling you to lighten up? You're ridiculous.
Each comment of yours fits the narcissistic style of speaking: Invalidation, blaming, emotional immaturity, you-statements.
I'm sure it does, just like you reek of concern trolling and AI slop responses. Very unoriginal and very pathetic. Are you incapable of trolling on your own? Or are you so bored and unwanted in your pathetic existence that you seek and crave any sort of attention even if it's negative?
You and I are playing two different games. it seems like you're trying to "take me down" while I'm just identifying your behavior patterns for the audience. False accusations, labeling & insults (e.g., troll, pathetic, incapable). These are all examples of emotional immaturity.
