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.

If the Amish weren't Christian, I'd be tempted to join them...
A lot of them live in severe poverty.
Even if that's true on an individual level - they often pool funds as a community to those in need (mutual aid).
The Amish where I live are doing better than most people with their businesses, which are thriving in this economy.
Extreme religious austerity tends in that direction without eider community support.
I'm assuming this was a typo -- sea duck community support makes no sense -- but I can't quite figure out what the intended word was. Elder? Other? Something else?
Whoops, meant to write wider community support. Like Catholic nuns and priests have the congregation who tithe and a similar system for Buddhist monks as well as monks off a lot of faiths.
Ah, that does make more sense :) Thank you
Ever heard of Wwoofing? There are tons of not christian international communities with their own vibe around. There's also many more not listed aka you just kinda need to know people.
Wow that's a pretty awful name lol
Don't take life too seriously. We all push daisies in the end. I will say it's definitely not for everyone.
Huh?
Any connection to The Office?
