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.

I was actually making the comment in defense of/intending to reassure you lol but I can see how it came across otherwise, and I should have phrased it better.
Also: thicker walls do not make extra noise the way music does? As an autistic person who is highly sensitive to noise overload I don’t see how that would be a reasonable equivalent.
Bathroom stall walls should be thicker/go all the way to the floor (if you’re also in the US - we’re frickin uncivilized), and with that I could fully agree :) /gen /pos
Actually I like your thicker stall wall idea better, because I'm also autistic! I don't have sensitivity to music, but car horns and alarms genuinely make my shoulders touch my neck at lightning speed. Being only medium far away from fireworks is the worst too, I fucking hate fireworks
I don't even want bathroom stalls, I just want separate toilet rooms. Like, just make them out of bricks and add real doors
Glad we’ve found common ground! The separate rooms idea is even better, since it would help with smell issues too.
