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.

Thank you! These are fantastic details, and I appreciate it! The correlation between having extra free time, and therefore having more time to see and report UFO's is really practical. Great study.
Whats interesting is that result implies that there's a fixed amount of UFO's to be seen. If numbers go up or down according to the amount of time available in a population, it certainly implies there's a fixed amount of UFO activity that we are or are not aware of depending on how often we're looking. Granted, it's likely this activity is explainable as false positives: drones in the sky, kites, etc have all been mistaken as UFO's. So it could just be a fixed amount of human made things that are misidentified.
But the same result would occur if it wasn't false positives. And that's facinating. I would have assumed the amount being reported would stay relatively fixed, or just vary greatly regardless of income.
Thanks again!
