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.

You aren't. What you are is a liar. Your recent comments make this incredibly clear.
You found George Santos’ account!
Actually, ever since my partner and I moved from Johannesburg to Topeka to start work at the U.S. standards office, changing to liters has been a big focus of mine. I've been living half of the time in Louisville, KY where I work on drafting the new policy in my free time when the PTSD eases up and allows for it.
Much like I was drafted into WWII to lead the charge on D-Day.
Please read further. I can't be bothered to quote them all but (almost?) none of what follows after the actually seems genuine. Here's the full Texas one for example:
For sure, each one of them is complete bullshit and I encourage everyone to read through em. Like you, I didn't want to post all of them but just to give my Lemmys a taste.
This comment is amazing.
