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.

I think your getting to pedantic. Your asking about some hypothetical and its like. So far in my 50 plus years I have not been attracted to a man and have not been particularly attracted to most women I pass. I mean I don't go woa every time I pass a woman and sport a boner. That being said I can have women showing a lot of cleavage and it becomes an act of will to not stare at it. I do go woa at the sight of some women if they are hot in my perspective. What is hot. hard to say. I can say something about boobs and ass but you know sometimes it might be the circadian rhythms. I have mistaken men for women and I have been mistaken for a woman. Generally its the distance thing. Like briefly thinking a mannequin is a real person. I honestly don't care that much if I am gay or straight but I am what I am. I mean gay is always going to be wierd to me as is trans and whatnot but I assume straight is kinda wierd for them. So anything is theoretically possible. Maybe I will go gay. Thing is in my experience im the way I am.
