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.

"It's abusive and exploitative." "Yet I have never in my life paid for porn." .... I think you’ve answered your own question there ....🤷🏼
How come?
Are you saying abuse somehow generates money for them and then they can give away porn for free?
So should I pay for porn to make that industry better? Or just stop watching free porn altogether?
If there's no demand, then there shouldn't be any supply. I.e. if I'm not paying, why do they keep producing it?
Someone must be paying for it, but I haven't met anyone yet who does or no one is willing to admit it.
Most porn sites do run ads!
And I did support a probably independent creator of erotic audio on Patreon once.
