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 pretty amazing. I’ve never played the game but it looks pretty chill.
Sometimes I really get in the mood for chill games like Stardew Valley or NetHack! Maybe I’ll check out ETS2 sometime!
I mean, I recommend Motor Town: Behind The Wheel, but ETS2 is undeniably awesome too!
Oh nice! I’ll check that out too! Thanks!
ETS2 is getting a bus expansion too so you can drive buses instead of trucks of you prefer. The American counterpart ATS (same game engine, same studio and updated in lockstep with ETS2) is similarly getting a road trip expansion, where you can drive many classic American cars on a road trip.
Honestly I highly recommend the games because they're incredibly chill driving simulators
ETS2 + Lee Hazlewood’s Cowboy in Sweden is just maximum aura.
You obviously pasted the wrong link.
I believe this is the game you meant:

this game is great, i installed it just now. I heard the game is bad, but even still, i assumed the ui problems must have been from running the game through proton. but no, it's literally just that bad

also, on wikipedia there's a picture of the truck climbing a steep mountain. but what it doesn't show is that the truck actually goes much faster up steep mountains than over flat land because the physics system is terrible and the car doesn't slow down at all horizontally when it starts moving vertically.
Have you tried going in reverse? 😂
The play is fun, but you can get the highlights from watching the hilarious videos people have made on them. Just in case anyone wants to save the megabytes on the hard disk ;)
You're winner
