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.

Practice your hobbies, I didnt start taking photos or playing guitar until I was 21, I'm pretty good now, good enough to find enjoyment in them
learn a language?
oh and also, therapy
Yeah, I need to comment that no one should be using BetterHelp or the like, if you care about your personal and/or sensitive data being stolen in a breach. BetterHelp already had privacy issues that came to light. 1 2 3
Yeah, never feel like it's too late to start something. There's stuff (learning an instrument, language, craft stuff) I considered getting into in my 30s but felt like it was too late. Now I'm 40 and I've started and I wish I'd done it ten years ago, because I'd be so much further ahead.
therapy is expensive
