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'm happy with my new username.
I'm happy you're happy.
Nooooow you tell me smh
I didn't exist before, and I still don't. I have never existed, and I never will.
I like my new user name.
It hurts
What can I say? I like my name so much I went and made it my Lemmy domain and my username.

A wizard does not change his username, he carries it with the same pride or shame that one does of any nickname earned in highschool-college.

Think I did ok, but does it really matter when I can just create my own instance and choose whatever username I want?

Absolutely.
fart noises
Oh damn it!!
Not embarrassing but I had a pretty unimaginative username and always felt I could have done better. Lemmy gave me a chance to have a kickass username… and I squandered it by feeling too much pressure and writing whatever came to my mind first in the prompt :(

I knew I should have added "3000" to the end of my lemmy name. DestroyerOfWorlds just sounds so weak now.

I choose to forever cringe at my first chosen name.
Some usernames should stay the same though, right?
Eat me.
I got my username back! I missed it. Got banned from reddit and used some alt for a while.
I like this username. Keeping it.

My reddit name was based off of a meme from 2009... Funny at the time but boy it certainly showed it's age as time went on.

I should have thought of that.
Anyone comes up in here with random word + random word + random number, we're going to have a fight.
waiting for Reddit’s own isis-blowjob-slave to make an appearance
I eagerly await Lemmy's "u/PM_ME_YOUR_BUTTHOLE" phase, if only so we can get it over with and move on.
