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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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 my 40s and just got my first sport bike, been riding dirt bikes before I was 10 and street bikes by 14. I've always liked cruisers and choppers, never had a crotch rocket style.

After a month of having a cbr600f2, I'm convince there is a correlation with how kids slept as as babies and what bikes they like to ride (if at all)

Babies who slept on their backs better, like cruisers, babies who preferred to sleep on their bellies, like sport bikes!

I have very mixed feelings about the bike tbh. Its the fastest bike ive ever owned bar none. It handles great at high speed, as it should since it was made for it. However after an hour or two, im super sore having to hold my head up like that while laying on the tank. I'm more built to lean back and cruse but got this bike for a screaming deal that i couldnt refuse. But damn is it fun, never had a bike that wants to lift the front wheel going into 3rd gear at 100+kph before.

You shouldn't be laying on the tank unless you're tucked into the bubble for extreme speed. Sit up, rest your weight on your hands, feet, and ass. It's an aggressive seating position, but not really uncomfortable. The wind will do most of the work holding your torso up. I can't stand cruisers. Not only are they boring, but you're sitting straight up and down, with your feet forward, so your spine gets jarred with any bumps that the suspension doesn't totally absorb. You can't use the pegs to take weight off your ass without also hanging on the bars like they're a pull-up bar, and that's not really safe.
