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.

yesterday, i hit myself in the forehead with a car door almost knocking myself out, generating serious pain and a giant goose-egg hematoma.
its funnier today
I gave myself myself a concussion almost the same way, except my clumsy ass was getting into my car and I slammed the side of my head on the roof of my car, everything went black, and then the door that I had already started to swing shut came and slammed into the other side of my head, knocking me back to my senses. I had a dent above my ear for a year lol.
i stepped on a rake at work, a few minutes later i stepped on the same rake. thankfully only hit me in the chest both times

Ouch

A pirate walks into the bar with a ship's steering wheel attached to the belt.
The bar tender asks, "What's up with the wheel?"
The pirate responds, "ARR, IT'S DRIVIN ME NUTS!"
Any of you guys remember the wholesome Vernon or good dog meme?
I agree, you wonderful sunshine!

Not just lemmy, everywhere. We should all approach strangers as if we're already friends.

Maybe they can see you 👀
I think it's really cool that you think we need more random kindness. I agree ^^
I love this idea! Thanks for posting and hope you’re having a good weekend!

My daughter told me she was getting paper from the other room to draw on, and as she ran off I replied "Sounds ink-credible!"

Hjalmar is right. Good for them. Being randomly friendly is fucking decent.
Hell yes we should. It’s good for the communities and it’s even better for ourselves.
That is a great idea 👍. Thank you for making Lemmy an even more positive place. I
'm still not sure what a language comment is.

How very sweet of you to say
But what about all those lovely 7+ paragraph diatribes we get instead? Lol
But yes, it can really sour my day just to have someone comment something halfway mean-- more positivity would be nice.
Great idea, so simple yet you're the only one who actually thought of this. You rock!
