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.

Yeah, this is shit, literally.
In my 2 person home, we go through a 12 pack in 2 weeks.
I dont even use 12 rolls in that time. wtf?
When you're the caretaker of an 88 year old mother with diabetes, you go through that much.
And since you're a ignorant young male, women dab their urethra after they piss, which my mother does at least a dozen times a day.
You'll understand after you move out of your parent's house.
And when one of you "Well, Akshully..." cunts try to save face, you're wrong, and ignorant, and sound stupid to actual adults.
Why so hostile?
Because they're going through some really hard life shit right now and wanted to get it off their chest.
I get that but it doesn't give them the right to be toxic to innocent people.
Because people who have no idea what they're talking about are stating:
"Hurrr, hurrr, I've never gone through that much...'
Well, now you're learned something.
Seems like you've got some feelings you should work out fam. I get it but like expressing it this way you just look like an asshole. Hope your day goes well
I'm not your "fam.'
I'm educating young people who haven't gone through it yet.
You're not educating anyone, you're just being hostile for no reason.
"Educating" my ass; have you ever thanked a teacher for calling you a wrong stupid cunt?
If I want to educate you on the proper way to respond to someone stating their own possibly-naive experience, I'd undermine my effort if I let my own cunt face follow it up with "Now go wipe your mom's ass for the umpteenth time cuz you're a shitty teacher."
Sincerely, I don't feel the kind of hostility towards you that that example suggests. But if you feel insulted, reflect on that and go from there.
You aren't 'educating' you're being a dick.
You don't need to attack people in order to teach them something. It seems like there's other things going on in your life that are bothering you. I hope things get better for you soon man.
Why so ignorant?
Oh that's right, spending on your life online, instead of touching grass.
Why such a bitch?
Are you doing a "well, akshully" here while also complaining about that very behavior?
Damn thats wild :o
That feels, excessive.
Ever lived with a woman?
Opulence and overconsumption are a privilege issue.
That's seems reasonable to me. It's 6 rolls per one person in 2 weeks. There are times where I think I'd use more, lol.
I started tracking 2 weeks ago for fun. So far its 1 roll in 3 days avg for 2 people using this bathroom.
The result May change if you are using mega rolls or normal ones or w/e else is there.
