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.

Yes, there's supposed to be a higher legal standard for the state sending you to prison than a private party banning you from their forum.
There is also common decency to consider.
If you took your own advice, you wouldn’t have so many comments of yours deleted.
How does being a moderator make one an expert on common decency?
One need not to be an expert to see that your comments were inappropriate and broke the rules.
You know what's appropriate, the moderator knows what's appropriate, and anybody who disagrees is wrong.
And anybody who asks for an explanation is just trolling.
That's a rather massive and arrogant assumption.
Not “anyone”. But certainly you, currently.
You broke the rules, and you got your comments removed. Facing the consequences of your actions is not a state of victimhood.
That's rather beside my point. I addressed prosecution without explanation.
You’ve been told multiple times where to find your explanation. You didn’t like the answer, and so now you seem to be pretending that you didn’t hear it.
I think you might be wrong there.
And you refused to answer me when I asked you in what court of law are you being prosecuted? State, federal? What laws are you alleged to have broken?
It's a pretty bad question.
So, you still can’t answer.
Actually it's that I prefer not to answer. It would be like building a house upon a swamp.
Kinda like claiming simple moderator actions on a private forum or are tantamount to “prosecution“
