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.

I’m in awe of your ability to sound like an ass.
So would it be appropriate for me to not see your proposal as a way to help men?
If you don’t want to wear skirts my dude, nobody’s gonna make you. You want to keep your brothers who aren’t prissy little homophobes like you from having the freedom to wear what they want. It’s sad.
Nothing is homophobic about wanting men to get credit for the work we do for society.
What the fuck are you talking about? Are you so aggrieved that you can’t even engage in a conversation about how comfortable pants are without making it about how your wife left you or you lost your job or whatever? Get help buddy.
You’re the one who seems upset right now.
I’m just saying if you want to help men there are ways other than hoping they wear skirts.
Your response to a really mild joke post dissing pants demonstrates some really weird priorities, dude. I am upset! I’m worried about you. 500 fun response comments from people who got the joke, and one from a disturbed little guy who is desperate to get credit for other men’s accomplishments?
Maybe if you do some stuff with your life you won’t be so focused on getting praise for having a dick?
Oh how sweet. Human connection. Empathy. Someone who values me.
Oops, false alarm.
How would I possibly connect with someone who responds to me with nothing genuine? You interpret my post in the most negative way possible, you give cryptic hints that you think men are superior to women, and you never engage with what I’ve actually said. It’s bad faith, argumentative to the point of being nonsensical, basically worthless. Why would I respond with anything but mockery?
