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 reading a thread about another one of these fedi scrapers just this morning: https://olifant.social/@oli/statuses/01KZXMMFKAHN4ZDZN9B8K3QM0T
Just remember kids, everything you say on fedi is extremely public, even your dms.
Ironically i cannot see the message behind that link.
Not Visible
There's something at this URL but it's not visible to unauthenticated web visitors. This could be for a variety of reasons:
It's a followers-only or direct post. It's a public or unlisted post but the author doesn't show these on the web. It's a reply to a post that is itself not visible.To try viewing it anyway, search the following URL in your fedi client of choice, and see if your fedi server will show it to you:

If you believe this was an error, you can contact the instance admin. Provide them with the following request ID: 000037yeaw14600frvag.
The DMs are not really public. They are only visible to admins of either instance.
get off the computer
I know some of these words, yet fail to comprehend their meaning. Weird constellation. What does that even mean? /j
Lmao I laughed
best way is to poison thier data, and increase the cost of the use.
Why do you think they are suddenly pushing the pervert glasses again? They are trying to get more learning data, by any means possible.
