Did you know there are more aeroplanes in the ocean than submarines in the sky?
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.
Smart guy
yes or iraq for that matter. Wierder still is you don't see many murdered folk walking around anymore.
Benefit of the doubt: do you mean you doubt there are many people alive who FOUGHT in WWII?
I'm nearly certain that nobody who died in WW2 is alive today
I suppose it depends on how they died. People have come back from the "dead" before (heart stopped, declared dead, heart starts again kinda shit), and people who fought in WW2 could still be alive. The overlap may be incredibly small, but it's possible.
The town next to me has a very large cemetery, but nobody living in my town is allowed to be buried there.
As a great piece of art once said, "Young man, there's no need to feel down."
Such is history.
Fun fact: There are just as many living today as there were in the 1960s!
Lol
For the love of all that is good please let me ignore negative karma posts in Voyager
I see there are many variations of this joke.

When I was in school, a teacher told us about how Bill Cosby's son died. One of my classmates asked, after hearing the story, "is Bill Cosby's son still alive?"
