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.

Funny, I’m finally getting around to watching all the Predator and Alien movies. I’ve only ever seen the first of each. What’s also funny is I’m a massive fan of both, especially Alien (one of my favourite movies of all time), and I’ve never once watched anything else from either series. So far I’ve only checked out the second movie in each (Aliens and Predator 2) but looking forward to continuing on.
Man, are you in for some disappointment along the way.
Yeah, I’m aware they’re not great movies. I still want to see them anyway. Maybe I’ll like one a lot more than most people. Or maybe I’ll hate all of them but at least then I’ll know what all the fuss is about.
