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.

MODERATORS
Are there some who have?
There are so many influencers who got their start in pampers.
Guess I'm happy to not know any, then.
Co-rrect
On Facebook though?
It's been 20 years since Facebook became popular, and 25 years since vlogging became a thing. I dunno what to tell you
Next you'll try to convince us youtube is old enough to drink.
Has been for three years.
Boring answer but besides a few quixotic individuals who reserve high value digital real estate for loved ones JIC, most online accounts created on behalf of those with little agency (babies, pets, etc) were created exclusively to funnel more attention to the attention-addicted creator, whether via cute photos or puppetry.
But these accounts are abandoned once the attention well dries up. The account credentials are soon forgotten and within a few years the accounts are garbage collected by inactivity pruning algorithms, or hacked and disabled. In any case, they’re long gone by the time the kid comes of age.
E: So basically zero. These pampers influencers simply created a new account.
