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.

Ok, so basically it was being predicted that the future was going to suck, before I was even born. So it only made sense that my parents would want to have sex and create me. Because if the world is going to suck, then I should get to experience that, right?
So boomers, I want you to take note. This world sucking right now, has nothing to do with Millenials, ok? Even your generation knew the world was headed to fascism before we were ever born. This one's on you. And also most other stuff is on you as well. I mean seriously, you ruined TMNT:Secret of the ooze! The first TMNT movie was awesome! I'm 42, and legitimately thinking of rewatching it just for the character work. It was dark. It was gritty. But kids could still enjoy it. But adults could ALSO enjoy it.
Then you smooth brained knuckleheads got together and said the turtles can't use their weapons. The tone needs to be more cartoonish. There were so many restrictions that we didn't get anywhere near the same level of quality as the first movie. Somehow what we got was Vanilla Ice rapping in a warehouse for 15 minutes? Um.....what?
Yes I'm still mad about that. I told you 34 years ago it was stupid. You told me I'd understand when I'm older. Well, I'm older, and you're still in the wrong for that one, and I'm still mad. Oh, and don't even get me started on TMNT 3. What the fuck was THAT shit??? These are YOUR policies. You did this.
Now a boomer is in the white house, bombing the middle east. I bet when we get a millenial president, it'll be the most boring president ever, and we can all stop being stressed over what new hell we'll get to experience when we wake up in the morning.
Clinton was known for getting a blowjob. Bush was known for 9/11. Obama is known for Obamacare. Trump is going to be known as a pedophile. Biden is going to be known for......uh.......history is probably going to forget Biden existed. He didn't really DO anything. Which was nice, because the previous 4 years had been hell. Then we got Biden, and all was ok. And now we're back in hell, except now it's amplified.
I like boring politics.
