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.

Phones are usually in your pocket. If you wanna leave it on a table, just put some random paper on top of it. How do you easily stop sounds from going to your phone? Probably not as easy as just covering up the camera.
This is under the assumption you are at home (or some safe place outside of public view), I mean why are you planning anti-government activities in public lol.
I think people should learn sign lanaguve causes it's cool. But if it's really for at-home, antigovernemnt planning, why not just put your phone in the other room, or the fridge? Sure, it's a minor inconvenience to take it out your pocket, but that's basically nothing compared to spending a few years being fluent enough in sign to hatch plans.
Makes a cooler movie plot tho. Character says pro-government things with verbal speech, simultaneously use sign language to plan a revolt. Government never suspects a thing. Very cinematic I think, lol
