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.

Indeed.
Do lights on buildings count, too? If so, Fremont Street in Vegas is a strong contender.
The Strip has a bunch of traffic + lots of building lights. I would be curious which outnumbers the other
It depends on what you count as a light. If you count every LED in the screen over Fremont Street, then it undoubtedly wins.
The more I think about it, the more it makes sense to have multiple categories. One of them definitely should be "Buildings count too"!
Vegas Strip, next.
I hate this but I also love it
This is incredibly unsurprising. More interesting to me would be to know which street that is.
It's probably biased toward longer and wider streets, since they can fit more cars. Perhaps highway 401 🇨🇦 . Turn signals are probably the most numerous of the flashing lights, so highways where cars are changing lanes a lot would bump it up, e.g. if there are lots of protected lanes that begin and end at random. But overall, the biggest factors are almost certainly just length, number of lanes, and congestion.
