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 how i cope, makes it easier. I also try to expand my horizons and do a bunch of weird shit.
What wired shit have you been up to latley?
I researched all the Technical Service Bulletins for my car and have been doing all the related fixes. This car is so low mileage that the original owner never encountered these problems, and the dealership doesn't have the parts available anymore, so I go to various junkyards, find cars that have been fixed, and steal their parts.
not OP but I mostly do computer things as weird shit. like running computer without graphics etc. haven't found the courage to do weird shit in real life
I've been drinking lattes a lot recently, I'm pretty wired.
